Lark
Hill
Lark Hill
Winery was established in 1978, at 860m on
the escarpment overlooking Lake George.
The vineyard was planted that winter and
the first vintage released in 1981. The
vineyard is in an environmental protection
zone and is home to many species of birds
and wildlife.
The fruit
is hard grown and the vines very low
cropping in a cold dry environment;
vintage is in April, and the fruit has
great concentration and intensity.
Riesling, Chardonnay and Pinot Noir are
particularly suited to the vineyard,
although Lark Hill has had enormous
success right across the range of their
wines.
The Lark
Hill team was started by Dr Dave and Sue
Carpenter, with Sue completing a Bachelor
in Applied Science: Wine-Science from
Charles Sturt Wagga Wagga. Their son
Christopher has completed chem/biochem at
ANU and has transfered to a double-degree
in Wine-Science/Viticulture through
Charles Sturt Wagga Wagga. Chris joins Sue
and Dave as an integral member of the
wine-making team. The newest development
at Lark Hill - our restaurant- will open
late Spring 2007.
Lark Hill
is currently in the process of Biodynamic
Certification, which is a 5 year auditing
program.
This is a
method of improving soil quality and
therefore vine health, as well as
providing a certified guarantee that we
are:
Free from
herbicides, pesticides and
insecticides,
Use no
non-organic chemicals in the vineyard or
winery
Use no
more than 20 parts per million free
sulphur at bottling
