Our Wines
Wonga Estate wines have been contract made by the acclaimed winemaker, Sergio Carlei and more recently by Greg Roberts himself. The wines are handcrafted: whole bunches, foot treading, open ferments, basket pressed, minimally handled and in most cases unfiltered.
The vineyard comprises of four acres of vines, planted in two stages 1997 and 2002 dedicated to Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. Wonga Estate is a low yielding vineyard – one to two tonne to the acre, with movement towards organic cultivation. Our vines are hand pruned and the grapes are hand picked.
