CARLEI GREEN VINEYARDS

VICTORIA, AUSTRALIA

WINEMAKER: SERGIO CARLEI

The Green Vineyards serves as an introduction to Sergio Carlei’s winemaking passion.

Fruit comes from both the Cardinia Ranges biodynamic & organic certified vineyards, as well as selected growers across Victoria.

Established in the early 1990’s Sergio had a vision for producing wines that are true to their terroir, or sense of place, and this is reflected in the wines of the Green Vineyards brand. Having worked with some of the most well known wineries and vineyards in Victoria, his passion for producing unique, terroir driven wines has only increased in the subsequent years. Real wines made to be enjoyed and appreciated by wine drinkers.

philosophy

“To truly express terroir requires a pure and natural environment free of artificial elements and un-natural interferences. Therefore, vines need to be grown naturally.

The role of the winemaker is to assist in the expression of these terroir components by minimal intervention through a combination of “old world” tradition (experience) and “new world” technology (practicality)” - Sergio Carlei

region: victoria

With more wineries than any other Australian State, Victoria is home to a diverse range of terroirs.

Victoria has a reputation for quality, excelling with cool climate wine styles, while still producing bigger bolder styles more akin to the famous regions of other states.

This diversity allows for grape varieties like Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Pinot Gris to produce elegant, sophisticated styles, while Shiraz, Cabernet go full spectrum from medium and elegant to big and bold. On top of this, many new varietals are being grown across the region, all of which show a style unique to Victoria and the region from which they come.

The Green Vineyards produce wine from the Cardinia Ranges, Yarra Valley, Heathcote & Central Victoria, with a museum list like no other offering beautifully aged examples.
