French feast at our new winery

On a cold winter's day in June, when the sleet just didn't quite metamorphose into snow, over 100 guests joined us at the new Wallace Lane winery to enjoy an afternoon with two of the best recognised traditional Australian French Chefs; Tony Bilson and Michael Manners. 

The exquisite six course French Feast was matched to the current Ross Hill range, and it was well into evening by the time we could convince the last of our guests to brace themselves and journey out into the winter weather!!

  Our New Winemaker

We are very pleased that Phil Kerney has joined us as our new winemaker. Prior to coming to Wallace Lane wine company Phil was the winemaker for 7 years at Willow Creek Vineyard in the Mornington Peninsular. For those of you who are Halliday followers you will see that Phil took Willow Creek to a 5 star red rating.

In the short term David Lowe will remain as a consultant and we thank David and Jane Wilson who have produced excellent wines for Ross Hill, made the wine business fun and have become and remain good friends.

Ross Hill and  Ristorante Buon Ricordo

Buon hosted a lunch at the Swiss Grand at Bondi during Taste Orange @ Bondi during September. Armando Percuocu prepared a stunning 4 course lunch for 100 guests matched with Ross Hill elegant wines.

Armando opened the lunch with a very amusing speech whilst explaining the special ingredients he uses to produce his delicious dishes.

Bistrode @ Ross Hill

The chefs for the long Ross Hill lunch in June 08 were Jeremy and Jane Strode from Bistrode in Surry Hills. Ross Hill House was packed to the rafters for this very special lunch. They are wonderful chefs with innovative ideas and carefully match the food to the ross hill wines.
