Welcome to the Gracedale Hills Estate website.
The Vineyard was established in 1996 by Dr. Richard Gutch OAM and Mrs Verna Gutch and family on their property Hill Paddock situated on the Yarra River, ten kilometres from the township of Healesville in the Yarra Valley region of Victoria, Australia.
Planted with only Chardonnay and Shiraz, the vineyard is ideally situated on a north easterly facing, gently sloping hill above the valley floor, providing excellent drainage and ripening potential.
Phase I has been the planting of a 3.2Ha vineyard and there is room for expansion as the future demands.
In 2005-2006 a purpose built Winery with modern gravity fed utilities and complete with an underground barrel hall was constructed on the property.
This winery facility is called "Hill Paddock Winery" and is now used by our winemaker to produce all of the Gracedale Hills "Hill Paddock" label wines.
