:: Welcome

Silverwood is a small single site vineyard producing quality pinot noir and chardonnay. We are located on the Mornington Peninsula not far from Westernport Bay, on a protected north facing slope. Our unique site is characterised by a cool climate, low fertility soils and a long ripening period. These often difficult conditions produce great pinot noir and chardonnay! Founded and owned by Paul and Denise Dennis, who is passionate about producing the highest possible quality wine, Silverwood's prime focus is on growing premium Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. Our vines are all meticulously hand tended and grown under an environmentally sensitive, sustainable philosophy. We strive to produce wines which express the potential of our site – our pinot noir exhibits deep colours, great body and intensity of flavour. Our distinctive wines are made under a minimal intervention regime to ensure that the characteristics are true to the site and wines made as naturally as possible.

:: Latest News February 25, 2008 Silverwood wines were available for tasting at Armadale Cellars as part of the Melbourne Food and Wine Festival. At this event we previewed the 2006 Silverwood Estate Pinot Noir and received an excellent response. We are expecting to release this wine in the next couple of months as our stocks of 2005 pinot noir are very low. Silverwood Marque d'Argent Limited Release Pinot Noir 2005 was recently reviewed by Huon Hooke in Gourmet Traveller Wine Magazine February/March issue in the 100 Top New Releases. Unfortunately the Marque sold out in about a month so has been out of stock for some time. "The reserve pinot from a new maker and what an impressive debut. It has some leathery and earth aspects to its complex bouquet, shot through with black cherry, vanilla and chocolate. It's very ripe and almost jammy. Good backbone too." Silverwood wines are now available in Esposito at Toofey's, Verge, The Argo and Gran Sasso Restaurants in Melbourne. A full list of restaurants is provided on our restaurants page.
