Mount Ophir Estate A country retreat set on 50 hectares in Victoria’s renowned Rutherglen wine region offering six unique self-contained accommodations. A vast, starlit night sky.

Producing low-yeilding, premium Shiraz. A friendly light burning in the tower. Welcome, traveler. Please consider Mount Ophir Estate, a unique winery experience setting new standards in luxury accommodation. Steeped in more than 130 years of wine history, our French provincial inspired buildings have been lovingly restored and refurbished personally by leading family wine producers Nick, Angela and Eliza Brown to provide modern comfort, creative style and sophisticated elegance. Located on 20 hectares of secluded farmland in Victoria’s fabled Rutherglen region, and with a sprawling heritage winemaking building doubling as a unique events space at its heart, a range of stay options are available for small parties or large. Choose from the romance of the tower, the cosy intimacy of winemaker’s cottage or the convivial atmosphere of the gatehouse. Producing limited release, premium and highly collectable vintage shiraz, Mount Ophir Estate is the perfect place to unwind, reconnect with nature and indulge your senses.

A throwback to pressing our 2019 Shiraz.⁠
⁠
After a 12-day fermentation, the marc (skins, seeds and stems) was transferred into a 50kg basket press, where it was gently pressed over six hours to extract the remaining w**e while minimising the extraction of harsh tannins.
