Our 2022 Estate Range out now
Beginnings
Ravensworth embarked on its journey in 2001 under the pretext of 'It seemed like a good idea at the time.' It has evolved into a family affair, with life-committed partners Bryan and Jocelyn Martin joining forces with David Martin, the quieter one who bears a resemblance to a character from Braveheart. Additionally, we are currently in the process of negotiating the purchase of his impressive HR Holden.
Vineyard
We procure fruit from our vineyard and a few others around the region to mitigate the challenge of its cultivation and spread the risk. Nebbiolo is the new addition, with all the fruit originating from Brian Mullany's vineyard in Young. It's a work in progress, but having access to such a fantastic variety adds a lot of fun to the winemaking process.
Winery
The cellar, built meticulously over three years like a 'Grand Designs' project using straw bales, now features large oak barrels, ceramic eggs, Italian Amphorae, and concrete monoliths. Each element is designed for prolonged aging, ensuring the wines have a long and fulfilling life.
Though we haven't fully embraced Natural wines, we're committed to a chemical-free, additive-free process that lets our fruit and microflora work naturally.
