Cannibal Creek

The Cannibal Creek winery is located in the foothills of the Black Snake Ranges in the West Gippsland Region of Victoria, Australia. The grapes are hand-picked and the wines crafted with the minimal amount of handling, producing traditional style, premium wines.

In 1997 the Hardiker family planted two hectares each of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir on the granite foothills of Tynong North. This area with its deeply weathered soils and gentle slopes is ideal for producing high quality wines and sunshine hours are more than adequate to ripen early grape varieties. A further planting of one hectare in 1998 of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Sauvignon Blanc makes up the vineyard today.

The winery takes its name from the Cannibal Creek, a tributary of the Bunyip River that forms the eastern boundary of the property. It is believed that the Creek itself was named after the original pastoral selection of Crown land called 'Connabul Run' and over the years the spelling was corrupted. The name invariably induces much wild speculation though!
