Originally established in the 1860s by one of Melbourne’s founding fathers, James Johnston, Craiglee Vineyard was absent from the Australian wine landscape until it was replanted in 1976 by an enthusiastic agricultural science graduate called Pat Carmody.
The “Eadie” is made from fruit grown in our paddock on the southern side of Jacksons Creek, named for the family who first planted vines on the spot in 1863.
It is bright crimson in colour with aromas of blueberry and plum, and fine tannins to support the spicy flavours combining to make an elegant savoury wine.
Craiglee wines are hand-grown, hand-harvested and handmade at an historic site in Sunbury by Pat and Di Carmody.
