Geoff and Joan established Barwon Ridge in the Barrabool Hills in 1999. After Joan’s death in 2021 Geoff has kept their vision of a sustainable property producing fine wine going strong. Our objective has been to manage the whole property sustainably through responsible farming and land management.
There is an ongoing commitment to improving the biodiversity of the property through the revegetation of degraded areas and the protection of remnant vegetation. The approach to grape growing is to assist nature where possible and to minimise inputs.
In 2023 Barwon Ridge was the first vineyard in Geelong to achieve the internationally recognised sustainability certification from Sustainable Winegrowing Australia.
