Mount Gisborne Wines is dedicated to producing high quality, hand fashioned Burgundian style wines. 
The owners, David and Mary Ell, under the tutelage of Master Winemaker Stuart Anderson have been producing quality wines since 1991. The property, on 75 acres is located in Waterson Road, South Gisborne, in the Macedon Ranges Viticultural Region, and is bordered by the Wombat State Forest anduces low volumes of fruit with a complexity of delicate flavours. The vin the Derrijewarrah Creek. This cool climate region prodtages of Chardonnay are barrel fermented in small French Oak. After primary fermentation, the Chardonnay and Pinot Noir are allowed to complete malolactic fermentation during the winter and spring months. This process allows the wine a slow and gentle maturation and presents a wine with a smooth integration of fruit, acid and tannins.

The wines Produced by Mount Gisborne are 100% Estate Grown and Bottled.
 

The Region The Macedon Ranges viticultural region is situated just to the north-east of Melbourne’s International airport, and is one of the three coolest wine growing regions on the Australian mainland. The concept of terroir is nowhere more applicable than in Macedon. This once volcanic region offers an unparalleled choice of site, exposure and altitude. The thin mountain soils range from granitic sandy grey loam to weathered black basalt clay. Given the altitude (Mount Macedon is just over 1000m high), winds can be a problem as they sweep up over the exposed high slopes, making the choice of site important. These difficult climatic conditions keep yields low, but Mount Gisborne keeps them low, producing a mere 10 to 13 tonnes from their 7 acres in their quest to produce truly outstanding wines.

The Vineyard First plantings commenced in 1986 and continued progressively through 1990. The Pinot Noir and Chardonnay are on own roots and use vertical shoot positioning as a trellising method. 
Fractured granitic and volcanic soils comprise the geologic profiles of the property. The vineyard is in the foothills of the Macedon Ranges and is at the base of Mount Gisborne, an extinct volcano.
