Hanging Rock

Hanging Rock

Hanging Rock Winery is located just north of the famous Hanging Rock landmark, only a 55 minute drive from Melbourne in The Macedon Ranges Wine region of Victoria, Australia. The winery sits on The Jim Jim, a hill facing Hanging Rock.

Hanging Rock was established in 1983 by John and Ann Ellis. Their flagship wine is the sparkling 'Macedon', a rich, complex, dry-finishing Champagne style sparkling unashamedly modeled on the non-vintage wines of Krug and Bollinger.

Hanging Rock Chardonnay 2007

Rock Chardonnay is a full-flavoured wine but is simultaneously fresh and light. Un-oaked, it is made with carefully chosen fruit from our growers in various regions of Victoria. It goes well with most seafood and white meats, and is surprisingly good with pasta and many other Italian dishes.

Hanging Rock Shiraz Blend 2005

This wine is medium-bodied with some obvious tannin and is an excellent example of skilful blending; the richness of the Shiraz, the spicy ripe characteristics of the Grenache, the smooth texture and flavour of the Pinot Noir and the structure of the Mourvèdre combine to produce a great food wine.

Hanging Rock Merlot 2005

This is a wine designed for today's palate - a soft, smooth and medium-bodied wine.  Featuring soft, spicy aromas on the nose; the palate offers fleshy, ripe cherry/plum flavours, with just a hint of sweet spice. The finish is soft, smooth and satisfying. A light oaked, 'drink now' style of wine, this Merlot is made to be enjoyed right from the moment it is bottled. It goes well with barbecued and char-grilled meats, pastas and many Asian dishes.

Hanging Rock Riesling 2006

A highly aromatic nose, with limey citrus characters predominating on the palate. Crisp acidity balances a hint of sweetness and powerful lingering fruit flavours. The perfect match for fish and most seafood dishes.
