Our name is inspired by the ubiquitous grass (or Yakka) tree that slowly grows around our vineyards in the scrubby bushland. It is also a road that borders our regions in which we grow our grapes. Our Blackbilly scrub is subject to bushfires which burn the plants into a black stump which then re-grows with its characteristic spear shaped flowers that typify our icon for this wine. Long lived, reliable and enduring are the inspirations that this range of wines draws from the ‘Blackbilly’.

Beyond Blackbilly’s core range of Chardonnay, Pinot gris, Sauvignon blanc, Shiraz and a Grenache/Shiraz/Mourvedre blend, the additional Winemakers’ Playground wines – Sangiovese – represent newer styles that excite and inspire the winemakers, and have been released as impressive small-batch trials.
