Camelback Vineyards Wines

Winery
Camelback Vineyards is the export label of Galli Estates Vineyard.  Galli Estate vineyard was established in 1997 by Lorenzo and his wife Pamela, and occupies 100 acres at Rockbank in the renowned Sunbury Wine Region of Victoria. The vineyard is close to the city of Melbourne, just 30 minutes away, and is planted predominantly with Shiraz and Cabernet Sauvignon. In addition there is Pinot Noir and the exciting Pinot Grigio as well as smaller blocks of Merlot, Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc and Semillon. With its rich, red volcanic soil, attention to detail in vine management and low yield, the estate is focused on producing premium quality wines.

In the last five years Galli Estate has been awarded 3 Trophies, 11 Gold Medals, and 23 Silver Medals at wine shows throughout Australia and New Zealand. You can read what renowned Australian wine writer James Halliday has to say about Galli Estate here.
