- Established
- 1999
Longboard Wines are produced by Bellbrae Estate Winery which was established in 1999 on a beautiful section of rolling hills, five minutes from world famous Bells Beach, in the Surf Coast region of Victoria. The Longboard range of wines are a true expression of the region. Winemaker Simon Steele sources most of the fruit from the estate vineyard, with the exception being Pinot Gris, which is sourced from a premium grower in Bendigo. The wines are made using old world techniques, wild ferment, time on lees and aging in old French oak but are ready to drink now. They are all bursting with freshness and taste, perfect for the relaxed lifestyle loved on the Surf Coast.
The Surf Coast Area of Geelong enjoys a slightly milder climate overall than other of the Geelong viticultural region. Being so close to Bass Strait, Bellbrae Estate experiences a maritime influence that reduces the risk of frost in Spring provides more even temperature ranges in Summer – ideal growing conditions for producing elegant wines that retain their natural acidity
