ABOUT HILLTOP WINES LIMITED

At almost three quarters the size of France, California represents approximately 90% of the total wine production in the USA. If you considered California a country it would be the fourth largest producer in the world producing more wine than Australia. That said, California is not all about size, diversity is the key, meaning there is no one style of wine produced. Diverse land and soil, diverse climate and a myriad of grape varieties. Look carefully and it is possible to find any style of wine you require. Discuss your needs with us and allow us to recommend solutions.

Synonymous with award winning cool climate Pinot Noir, Oregon has only recently been recognised around the world as a region producing world class wines. This is no surprise for a region dominated by small family wineries, many only now moving to the second generation ownership, where the average production is in the region of 6,000 cases per year. Size is never going to be the driving force for Oregon wines - quality and style are the key words here. Whether you know what you are looking for or just want to learn more about the region and wineries please contact us to discuss.

We are clearly on the West Coast here - not the East....an easy mistake to make. It is also easy to think that as we are north of Oregon we are also talking cool climate Pinot Noir - however this too would be a mistake. The rain shadow caused by the Cascade Mountains makes the Columbia Valley an ideal location to grow grapes as diverse as Riesling and Syrah - with a multitude of other varieties making a colourful pallete for the Washington winemakers. The vineyards, being so far North, also receive almost 2 hours more sunshine during the growing season allowing for full maturity. Please contact us to learn more about what makes Washington State wines exceptional value and worthy of your consideration.
