Ross Hill
Ross Hill produces wines from Orange, a cool-climate region in New South Wales's Central Ranges known for its elevation and diurnal temperature variation. The winery's portfolio centers on white varieties suited to the region's conditions. The Maya Chardonnay and Pinnacle Series Sauvignon Blanc both achieved 93-point ratings from Wine Advocate, demonstrating the house's command of these grapes. The Pinnacle Series Chardonnay followed at 90 points. Sauvignon Blanc thrives in Orange's cool nights, developing crisp acidity and mineral definition. Chardonnay, too, benefits from the region's slower ripening cycle, building complexity and structure. Ross Hill's focus on these whites reflects Orange's reputation as a source of refined, age-worthy expressions of cool-climate viticulture.
