Levant Range
The Levant, adapted from the French word ‘rise’, is a geographical reference to the ancient lands along the Eastern shores of the Mediterranean where the sun rises. It is from this word that the name ‘Levantine Hill’ was born.
These cool-climate, classic Yarra Valley varietals have been delicately crafted and blended by our winemaker to be drinkable now, whilst also being suitable for ageing.
Each Levant wine is a unique expression of that year’s vintage.
These wines are an exceptional example of the Yarra Valley as an internationally-recognised cool-climate winemaking region.
Levant wines possess an approachability, crafted to be enjoyed now with great food and good company.

The palate is deep, long and flavourful with lemon posset and petrichor undertones washing over a refreshing base of integrated acidity. This wine has an ageing potential of five or more years.
