Redbox of Nillumbik are amongst the closest Yarra Valley wineries to Melbourne. The growers and winemaking team here know their vintages intimately and retain access to some of the finest Sauvignon Blanc found anywhere in Victoria. Undulating slopes and a myriad of aspects create a pallette of terroirs and mesoclimes from which to make personable wines. It is ultimately a team effort between growers and winemaker to construct the essential Yarra Valley Sauvignon Blanc. The quality of fruit grown in the vineyard is superb, the finished wine is even better.
Innovative approaches to viticulture and vinification afford the Redbox winemaking team access to parcels of the finest Yarra Valley fruit and provide the opportunity to fashion some wonderfully unique styles. Spring is the most exciting period in the year for the Redbox vineyard, as the vines are in their most prolific state. The entire Yarra Valley is dressed in brilliant hues of green, the vines have flowered, and bunches are forming. Throughout spring and the early summer, cutting the grass, eliminating weeds, and in general, grooming the vineyard is a full time job. The Sauvignon Blanc grapes are treated to the most gentle handling techniques throughout a cool temperature controlled fermentation.
TASTING NOTES
A pale citrus hue. Redbox leaps from the glass with fresh aromas of passionfruit and gooseberry. The palate is loaded with fruit, finishing vitally clean and dry on a note of well balanced acidity. Drink while young and enjoy alongside greek salad or barramundi.

About Redbox Winery
Right in the centre of the enchanting Shire of Nillumbik, at the western end of the Yarra Valley in the village of Kangaroo Ground you will find the Redbox Winery
Set on a property, named Wildfell by the first landholder in 1851, the Redbox Estate's fruit is gingerly tended and harvested to produce a fine range of wines. The Shire of Nillumbik is steeped in history and dotted with villages and towns, each with its own special magic. Names like Cottle's Bridge, Panton Hill, St Andrews, Hurstbridge and Wattle Glen all hinting of a culture brought to the region by the Scottish settlers in the early 1800s. The eight acre vineyard was originally planted to Riesling, Chardonnay and Cabernet in 1986. It's proximity to Melbourne and the rolling hills broken by dense stands of Red Box and other eucalypts makes it a haven for weekend visitors and wine tasters from all over. Redbox»
