Geoff Merrill's Mount Hurtle Winery is an oasis among suburbia, nestled in four acres of vineyards and landscaped gardens. It is hard to believe when Geoff purchased Mount Hurtle Winery in 1985 it was a derelict building, run down and dilapidated and had been used as a stable for many years. It required two years of love, hard work and a special vision by Geoff and his supporters to restore the winery to its former glory.
While retaining an almost Tuscan charm, the original winery and the 1500 square metre barrel maturation cellar, completed in 1998, now perfectly copes with the rigors of modern day winemaking.
The Geoff Merrill winemaking philosophy has been and always will be, to make wine that allows regional, varietal and vintage expression, without excessive winemaker intervention.
Great wine is a matter of balance and Geoff's passion for subtle, elegant and harmonious flavours in wine, is well documented.
Geoff believes that maturation, both in cask and particularly in bottle, prior to release, plays an important role in achieving this aim.
