The Helen’s Hill wine range celebrates passion, persistence and the genuine connection between people and land.

Each of the Helen’s Hill wine range hand-crafted and undergoes an arduous selection process before it makes it into a Helen’s Hill bottle.  Great wine is made in the vineyard and as such only small select parcels of fruit from certain rows of Helen’s Hill Estate’s single vineyard site are hand picked at harvest.  Each wine is fermented in select French oak barrels.  Prior to bottling, each barrel is tasted and ranked with only the best barrels selected for the Helen’s Hill range.
