Levantine Hill welcomed Australia’s favourite design series, The Block, to the Yarra Valley for a day of filming that celebrated design, craftsmanship and precision. Contestants arrived by helicopter before filming inside the Winery designed by Fender Katsalidis. A pivotal moment revealed each home’s auction reserves and the auction order - presented on a Levantine Hill bottle in a handcrafted Optume timber box - before contestants unlocked their reserve prices. In a gesture of generosity and craft, Levantine Hill contributed $250,000 in fine wine to be gifted to The Block buyers on auction day.

Levantine Hill Estate track record of international acclaim at global wine awards has continued with the 2021 Levantine Hill Samantha’s Paddock Mélange Traditionnel last week claiming the coveted double gold medal at the highly respected 2024 CWSA.  

We recently welcomed Scott, Shelley and The Block teams to Levantine Hill for a never-experienced series of winemaking challenges.

Upon the five teams’ arrival (in true Levantine Hill-style via helicopters), they were faced with the tasks of crushing, blending and designing their very own bottle of wine. 

Levantine Hill Estate’s impressive track record for winning global wine awards has continued with the 2019 Levantine Hill Estate Pinot Noir last week claiming Best in Show by Varietal at the highly respected 2022 London Wine Competition.
