Caprera Grove Vineyard, NSW 657 Milbrodale Rd, Fordwich NSW 2330
Bindy and Chris Elsmore established Elsmore’s Caprera Grove vineyard in 1995. “We found some very empty paddocks with excellent, sandy loam soil on the banks of the Wollombi Brook. We planted the stock, laid the irrigation and trained the vines, assisted by our sons Peri and Bart”. Ten acres of grapes have been planted - six acres of chardonnay, two acres of shiraz and two acres of verdelho. These produce limited quantities of premium wines - Chardonnay, Shiraz, Verdelho, “Peregrinus” Methode Champenoise and “Bartolomeo” Botrytis Dessert Wine. Bindy and Chris continually strive for the highest quality grapes and use natural products and processes wherever practical. They carry out all viticulture themselves.
