Situated in the Alpine Valleys GI, Feathertop was established by Kel Boynton in 1989. The 20 hectare vineyard in the Ovens Valley subregion near Bright was selected for its deep, red, well-drained soils, its terraced soil profile and sub-alpine climate. Originally known as Boynton’s of Bright, the wine range was rebranded as Feathertop Wines in 2005. The majority of the 10,000 case production is sold through the Cellar Door situated on the Great Alpine Road in Porepunkah. The vineyard is planted to 19 different varieties: Prosecco, Sauvignon Blanc, Semillon, Savagnin, Pinot Gris, Riesling, Chardonnay, Vermentino, Fiano, Friulano, Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier, Dornfelder, Durif, Tempranillo, Shiraz, Merlot, Petit Verdot, Sangiovese and Nebbiolo. The philosophy of Feathertop is to capture the true potential of the soil and climate of the region, expressed as wine. This is undertaken by the marriage of dedicated hands on viticultural practices and devoted winemaking. The vineyard is dry grown, hand pruned and handpicked to produce intense fruit in pristine condition. Winemaking practices aim to maximise fruit expression and create balanced wines with a sense of place. The cellar door is open Friday – Sunday with extended hours on school and public holidays. Our Stone & Barrel Restaurant is open for lunch and private functions and our cellar door has a Providore for DIY produce platters. Local craft beer and coffee available. Our Summit Cru Wine club forms an integral part of the business and is the best way to receive priority access to our 22 varietals, consisting of 4 mixed cases per year.
