Our Review
A beacon on the Coldstream Golden Mile, Levantine Hill was established in ’09 by the Jreissati family. Initially, the state-of-the-art winery and adjoining restaurant were met with some criticism, however the calibre of the wines continue to improve under the watchful craftsmanship of Paul Bridgeman (ex-Yarra Yering), who has a head for Rhône varieties and a heart for their potential in Australian soils. To the existing estate vines planted in ’99, the Jreissatis added a visually stunning vineyard surrounding the home property, and this is where fruit for the flagship Family Paddock range is grown. The wines command a high price tag, but luxury is the essence of what Levantine does. A 33-room hotel opened in mid-2025; a coup for the region. -KATRINA BUTLER
