Amulet Vineyard produces the most diverse range of wines made by a family-owned vineyard in Beechworth. Both Italian and French grape varieties are planted on the elevated cool site in the foothills of the Victorian Alps, among hills and bushland. About 15 acres of vines are planted on gentle slopes at an elevation of 350 metres on decomposed granitic soils. There is minimal herbicide and foliage spraying, and no pesticide use. The wines are hand crafted on site. Intervention in the winery is kept to a minimum, the focus at Amulet is to deliver high quality fruit from the vineyard, so that the grapes and musts reflect the site without much further ‘working’. The cellar door and tasting area is set in a modern Australian-style building with sweeping views through valleys in all directions. Weekend lunches featuring local produce complement the innovative range of wine styles grown, made and sold on site.
