Stonefield Estate

Stonefield Estate is a leading wine producer in the Henty Region best known for its Riesling, Pinot Noir and Chardonnay wines. In addition to these wines, the vineyard is also known to produce a handful of experimental rows.

Stonefield Estate was originally an expansive 9000 acre property that was solely used to graze animals in that era. The land was later subdivided to make way for soldier settlement in the mid 50’s. It is around this time that the first homestead was built on location. The vineyard owners purchased the sub-divided property in 1993, and the first plantings went in just two years later.

For a vineyard whose history dates back to 1995, Stonefield has since grown in leaps and bounds to be a leading producer in the Henty wine region. Part of the decision to plant the vineyard can be attributed to the rich volcanic climate and cool climate that makes for a perfect combination to grow vines.

This productivity has seen the vineyard produce up to 15 tonnes of chardonnay and 8 tonnes of pinot noir during a good season. This wine is produced by contracted wine makers with most of the product sold at local markets, restaurants as well as online.

Aptly described as the place for good wine and happy people, Stonefield Estate is tucked away in a beautiful setting that embraces nature’s natural beauty. In fact, part of the reason why the estate owners purchased the property is because of the expansive lake.

Stonefield Estate is a must-visit for wine lovers.
