IN 1997, Sir Paz Estate planted the first vines on their picturesque property in the southern hills of the Yarra Valley.
In 2001, their debut vintage was produced; a few barrels of Shiraz were crafted to be enjoyed by family and friends.
That first vintage won a Gold Medal at the Yarra Valley Wine Show and went on to win a Gold Medal at the Victorian Wine Show.
Now, nearly 20 years later, Sir Paz Estate produces an impressive portfolio of wines and has recently opened a purpose-built cellar door for everyone to sample and enjoy their award-winning wines.
Open every Sunday, visitors can sit at a table on the covered open deck, order a glass of your favourite wine and indulge in a meticulously crafted gourmet Mediterranean cheese platter.
Situated at 850 feet above sea level, the views are as spectacular as the wines.
What’s more, a family member is always in the tasting room and happy to talk you through each wine and discuss any facet of the vineyard.
Sir Paz Estate is open to the public on Sundays and can also cater for special events.
Bookings for groups are recommended. Open 11am-5pm every Sunday. Phone: 5964 2339, email info@sirpaz.com or visit online www.sirpaz.com
