“Life is short, celebrate well!” The mantra of this boutique vineyard says it all! Leura Park Estate is well and truly established as a dynamic force on The Bellarine.

Owners Lyndsay and David Sharp are committed to minimal interference and grape integrity reflected by the heavy culling of fruit to ensure maximum varietal intensity and terroir reflection.
