ATTWOODS WINES
ttwoods Wines specialises in the production of small batch, minimal intervention wines, reflective of vintage. Striving for quality, the elegant, food focussed wines come from the cool climate regions of Ballarat and Macedon Ranges. Winemaker Troy Walsh began his journey in wine working as a sommelier in London for 12 years at some of London’s leading restaurants including two Michelin starred The Square, before moving back to Australia to study winemaking and launching his own label, Attwoods Wines in 2010. Troy draws from his experience working with traditional producers in Burgundy such as Domaine de L’Arlot, focussing on premium pinot noir and chardonnay. Attwoods’ home of winemaking is now at Glenlyon, having recently taken over the 20 year old pinot noir and chardonnay vineyards and the beautifully renovated cellar door.

The cellar door has quickly become a destination restaurant, open Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays with new Head Chef Sean Marshall on board creating a four course set menu, changing monthly. Sean’s French ‘Bistronomique’ style food (casual, fine dining) is a natural match with Troy’s European inspired wines. It’s the perfect pairing. Sean’s resume as a Chef boasts awarded restaurants in Australia and around the world, such as Head Chef at Philippe Mouchel’s Deja Vue (Melbourne), Le Chateau du Mont Joly, Jura, France (1 Michelin Star) and The NoMad, New York (1 Michelin Star). A visit to Attwoods is a must for food and wine lovers, with winemaker Troy around most weekends talking wine and telling stories.
