Wines taste best when shared with friends!
The names Punt Road and Airlie Bank recognise the important role the Punt Road estate played in the history of grape growing in the Yarra Valley. On Melbourne's Punt Road, against the bank of the Yarra River, once sat the Airlie Bank vineyard. It was from here in 1860 that Hubert De Castella, a Swiss immigrant and pioneering grape grower, acquired vine cuttings to plant 200 acres of vineyard in Coldstream. The wines produced from those historic vines quickly gained acclaim and recognition in Australia and Europe. This land would later become the home of the original St Hubert's vineyard and then the Punt Road vineyard and winery.
Today, 58 hectares of the historic Coldstream estate is under vine, along with apple and pear trees, a nod to great grandfather Joseph. The key wine varieties include Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Pinot Gris, Cabernet Sauvignon, Gamay, and Shiraz. The estate winery, where all our wines are produced, sits in the middle of the estate. The Napoleone family's third and fourth generations are the current owners and operators of the vineyards and winery, with a strong focus on creating a lasting legacy for future generations.
