Ross Hill Wines

Orange’s carbon-neutral pioneer — altitude Chardonnay and Pinot from a 4.8-star family cellar door on the Canobolas slopes.

Ross Hill wears two badges rarely seen together: 4.8 stars from its visitors, and certification as one of Australia’s first carbon-neutral wineries. The family estate grows its Chardonnay, Pinot and cabernet varieties high on the volcanic slopes around Mount Canobolas.

The cellar door

Expect a warm, barrel-room-adjacent tasting through the altitude range — the Pinnacle series is the flagship — with the sustainability story woven through rather than shouted.
