__________________________________________________________________________________________

Lake Cairn Curran Vineyard is a historic rural property located on the banks of the Loddon River at Welshman’s Reef, near Castlemaine, in the south of the Bendigo Region of Central Victoria.

Recognised as "one of the top cool climate producers in this region" (Wine Bank,Bendigo 2008), our wines are Estate and Organically grown.

The 4.5 Hectare Vineyard was established in 1987 at ‘Park Hill’, the original homestead of the Tarrengower Run (C1840), and grapes were sold to Hanging Rock for sparkling wines. In 1999 the Ferguson family purchased the historic property to produce Estate grown wines from the mature vines and to establish Shiraz grapes renowned in Central Victoria.

Since 2003 we have produced premium cool climate Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Shiraz wines under our Lake Cairn Curran Vineyard label. Our table wines are typically elegant style with lively fruit and discrete quality oak influence, expressing prominent varietal and individual character. Building on the vineyard's sparkling pedigree, we now produce our own bubbles - our new release '08 Sparkling Emma is a dry apertif style Chardonnay / Pinot Noir produced by the French methode tradtionale.

Our current release wines (all award winners) also include our 2008 Chardonnay & Shiraz wines (both achieving a 4.5 rating in Halliday's 2011 Australian Wine Companion' as well as rated "special value for money")

We also have limited stocks of our 2005 'Sur Lees' Chardonnay (rated 92/100 in Halliday's 2008 Australian Wine Companion') & 2006 Pinot Noir, also award winners. See our Tasting Notes for details of the style and sensory characteristics of the current release wines.

You can order our wines by faxing or posting our Order Form, by telephone or email.

VISIT OUR CELLAR DOOR AT THE VINEYARD

Our recently renovated mudbrick winery cellar door adjoins the Cairn Curran Reservoir and overlooks the picturesque Loddon River valley and lake with its seasonal variations. We are only open BY PRIOR APPOINTMENT, except for a few open days and events each year. Please contact us should you wish to arrange a wine tasting session or private booking in our cellar room (gourmet tasting platters, light meals & wines by the glass or bottle available for groups by arrangement). Details of our cellar door openings are notified to our mailing list customers, or watch this space!

Our next public openings are advertised above or please contact us for further details.

We are off the beaten track midway between Maldon and Newstead in the heart of the tourist 'golden triangle' of Maldon, Daylesford and Castlemaine. See our Location Map.
