Bellarmine Winery, WA  332 Smiths Rd Eastbrook
Bellarmine Wines was established in 2000 when vines were planted on this special site, 220m above sea level with gravel laterite soils.

All the vines are on Schwartzmann rootstock and they struggle to grow which keeps crop levels low and promotes high quality fruit. From the first vintage in 2004, made by winemaker Diane Miller, the wines have received widespread critical acclaim and won numerous awards. Rated red 5 stars by James Halliday, the winery is proud to be part of the high quality Pemberton region. Bellarmine is featured in James Halliday's book, Top 100 Wineries of Australia.
