About us

Established in 1998, the Sutton Grange vineyards flourish amid the granite foothills of Leanganook - Mount Alexander - in the heartlands of Central Vicoria. This small estate is renowed for a range of hand-crafted wines that celebrate this distincitive terroir.

Our winemaker Chris Smales combines his distinctive style and interpretation with our organically grown estate fruit creating wines that express the uniqueness and characteristics of the site.
