Across the captivating landscapes of the Yarra Valley, our three distinctive vineyards thrive, each revealing its unique character, grounded in the Yarra Valley's diverse soils and microclimates.
Briarty 9 Vineyard
Nestled within the enchanting Yarra Valley sub-region of Gruyere, the Briarty 9 Vineyard is a testament to the intricacies of our craft. Facing south, the vineyard enjoys a dance of sunlight on its north/south rows along the gentle slope. The soil composition, characterised by fine silty clay loam, yields an ideal foundation for our select Dijon clones of Chardonnay (76 and 96) and Pinot Noir (114 and 115), along with the venerable MV6 plantings. With vines that found their roots in 1998, this vineyard is a living legacy of our pursuit of excellence.
Isabella's Vineyard
Named in honour of Helmut's daughter, Isabella's Vineyard graces the revered Gruyere sub-region. Nestled within a prestigious contour strip of renowned vineyards, this vineyard basks in a sun-drenched northern aspect, nestled on a steep slope that elevates its beauty and allure. The ancient, mountain-derived sandy clay loams of its soils add to its allure, weaving their magic into our Rochford Cabernet Sauvignon and Rochford Chardonnay vines that have aged gracefully for over three decades. With a mean maximum January temperature of 27°C, Isabella's Vineyard becomes the canvas for our acclaimed winemaking journey.
At Rochford, our vineyard management philosophy celebrates balance and sustainability. We nurture our vines with care, keeping yields low and orchestrating canopy structure to the rhythm of each season. The result? Intensely flavoured fruit, boasting well-balanced acidity, and capturing the essence of each vineyard's unique character. Guided by the wisdom of Mother Nature herself, we create wines that carry the distinctive touch of their origins, encapsulating the spirit of the Yarra Valley.
