Lion Mill Vineyards

Discover lesser seen wines like Montepulciano, Zinfandel, Durif and more at this picturesque boutique vineyard in the tranquil Darling Ranges.

Lion Mill Vineyards is one of Perth Hills most fruitful vineyards. Initially a part of an important timber milling area, the Lion Mill Vineyard is located on the northern side of a gently sloping valley on Charlotte Brook in Perth`s Darling Ranges and was established in 1999, when the first Shiraz and Cabernet Sauvignon vines were planted. The soils are those typical of the Perth Hills; loam, gravelly loam and lateritic gravels. The elevation (just under 300 metres), cold winters and hot dry summers all provide great growing conditions.

Lion Mill wines are produced from hand-picked fruit grown on the property. Care and time is constantly committed to the viticulture of grapes on the property, and tasks such as hand pruning, shoot thinning and fruit thinning all ensure that grapes are given the best opportunity to express their varietal characters.

The wine range includes sparkling, still and fortified wines. Look out in particular for their Montepulciano, Zinfandel, Durif - varieties rarely seen in Western Australia.

Looking out over the vineyards on this picturesque property, the Lion Mill cellar door offers a delightful visitor experience that is intimate, informative and relaxed. Tastings are available of the entire Lion Mill range - the cellar door is open by appointment.
