Payne's Rise

Victoria | Yarra Valley

Our Review

Tim and Narelle Cullen have progressively established 5ha of cabernet sauvignon, shiraz, pinot noir, chardonnay and sauvignon blanc. They carry out all the vineyard work (Tim is also a viticulturist for a local agribusiness) and are planting new clones and rootstocks with an eye to the future. Narelle is responsible for sales and marketing. A recent cellar door and restaurant extension have been added, expanding the original 1860s homestead of the region's first settler, Thomas Payne.
