Bittern Estate Wines

bittern estate is a family owned and operated winery located on victoria's mornington peninsula. named after the feisty, swamp bird found across southern australia, the australian bittern, this area of rolling hills and gentle climate is sheltered from the strong south winds found in other parts of southern victoria and is blessed with the long, moderate summers of a true maritime climate. the close proximity to the ocean also eliminates the killer frosts that can occur in other parts of the state and creates the backdrop for what is one of the most picturesque regions in australia while being only 60 minutes’ drive from the centre of the state’s capital city of melbourne. working with renowned winemakers alex white and carl tiesdell-smith, garry zerbe and his family have created a range of wines that best express the distinctive nature of the grape varieties and of the region. multiple awards over many years are testimony to the high quality of our wines crafted by our
