Bendigo Wine Makers
Faraday Ridge Wines
 David & Ruth Norris’s Faraday Ridge vineyard was established in
1979 and is one of the earliest planted in the Harcourt/Faraday area of
Central Victoria. The vines grow facing the sun on an elevated slope
overlooking Mount Alexander.
They have been supplying super-premium fruit to the wine industry for
many years now, firstly to Southcorp and later to wineries such as
Blackjack, Hanging Rock, Mandurang Valley and Witchmount.
The release of their own label 2004 Shiraz and 2007 Chardonnay marks
their first venture into wine production. A small quantity of selected
fruit has been retained each year since then for making wine under the
Faraday Ridge label. There will be future releases of Shiraz and
Chardonnay. The wines are available through selected regional bottle
shops and restaurants and by mail order or website.
Each wine is made by a small winemaker selected for the qualities
they will bring to the wine, and each wine is carefully handcrafted to
bring out the best in the fruit flavours of the quality fruit grown at
Faraday Ridge.
David & Ruth have a commitment to environmental responsibility.
They have reserved a significant portion of their 107 hectare property
as remnant native forest and in 2003 established an agro forestry
parcel of 20 hectares planted with 22,000 sugar gums and ironbarks on
land previously cleared.
