St Anne's Winery

St Anne's Myrniong is located only one hour west of Melbourne on the Western Freeway. Upon arriving you will find extensive parklands and an abundance of landscaped gardens. The cellar door is constructed from solid bluestone (common to the area) with open truss ceilings, providing a distinct colonial theme. The property has enjoyed significant growth in its 30 years; new additions include a double story barrelhouse, cooperage and recently the construction of a 300-seat restaurant. All buildings follow a similar design theme, utilizing solid bluestone and open truss ceilings.

The Myrniong viticultural site is high and cool with Riesling the flagship. Other plantings consist of Cabernet, Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc. A typical Myrniong growing season is long, with harvest in mid-late April. This challenging climate provides low yielding, high quality fruit perfect for the production of medal winning wines.
