King Valley Winery Accommodation

Set at the base of the alpine ranges, our vineyard is known for its outstanding terrior. Unique topography, free-draining red-granite soils and meticulous vineyard management combine to produce grapes of excessive colour and intense character. Overlooking the upper reaches of the spectacular King Valley, Politini Wines is a family business focused on producing small quantities of elegant, fruit-driven cool climate wines.

Our wine making philosophy revolves around letting the vineyard speak for itself and capturing the grape in the bottle.

The King Valley region is blessed with beautiful landscapes, fantastic local produce and a rich history of Italian migrant culture. It is one of Australia’s most important regions for cool climate and Italian varietal wines.

Located in the picturesque King Valley, King River Estate was established in 1990 when Trevor Knaggs and father Colin planted the first vines on the Estate.

Traditional French varieties were planted first but now there are also alternative varieties such as Vermentino, Lagrein, Sagrantino and Saperavi.

The vineyard is managed using biodynamic practices which makes the estate sustainable and preserves the land for future generations. In the winery we also use minimal intervention in the wine making process such as using wild yeast (natural ferments), which allows the wine to show its true personality.

Biodynamic agriculture is a method of farming that emphasises the holistic development and the interrelating relationships of the soil, plants and the animals as a self sustaining system. It excludes the use of artificial chemicals on soils and plants.
