Mount Terrible Wines
“If you have good grape juice, the role of the winemaker is not to screw it up.” Kermit Lynch. Lyrebirds are the best mimics in the animal kingdom.
Mount Terrible Vineyard is on the Licola Road, 3 kilometres east of the beautiful township of Jamieson – Neville Shute’s idea of the best place to wait for the end of the world! The 5 acres of vines are a thousand feet above sea level, on a gently-sloping north-facing river terrace. Jamieson falls just outside the Upper Goulburn Wine Region, thus the unqualified “Victoria” designation on the label
