DE Drummond

A hidden gem offering world-class Pinot Noir and Chardonnay from a 30 year old organic vineyard. Dan is the owner, grower and cellar door manager! A lovely bloke and as humble as his wines are exceptional and well priced. Truly outstanding - finding places like this is such a joy. I would suggest the Pinot is amongst the very best in Australia - elegant, ethereal, utterly yummy; redolent of great Burgundy for a fraction of the cost. So good I hesitated to write a review, wanting the place to remain hidden for purely selfish reasons!

This is the best pinot noir I have ever had! If you have had Gippsland pinot noir from Victoria, Australia then you will understand. Of course, I have not had every one out there, but you get the picture that I love this. It is beautifully hand crafted in small batches to maintain the quality. It pours a little cloudy as it is unfiltered and so this is not only natural but intended. It is smooth, with a good body and sweet, jammy fruit notes. But, this is NOT a dessert wine (so not that sweet). This is a great drop to have either on its own or with a meal. The vineyard is small, boutique and not at all commercial. If visiting, it is about meeting the owner and having a talk which will ultimately lead to you buying some great wines from a great bloke. Cheers.

Great little winery, they specialise in Pinot Noir, they had four types on offer, they also had a Chardonnay on offer when we were there.They have a small tasting room and a small offering ( 5 wines total), there are a few Artworks on display by the owner in the garden.Great eclectic place to pop into but not somewhere if you want to have a sit and eat, it’s not that kind of place.

A fabulous hidden gem in South Gippsland. Great to spend some time with Danny and resident dog Milly - learning about the vineyard history, delicious wine and the land surrounding. The Premium Pinot Noir is an absolute stand out. We will be back!

Just stopped by looking for a place to eat; Dan is a wonderful man with a great eye for decor (love the Che Guevara made of bottle caps in particular). Super helpful, and the wines were gorgeous. Seeing the tag trans friendly" was definitely a big plus for our visit; it's a tumultuous time for us

Cute local cellar door on an interesting property with lots of character

Drummond is extremely hospitable with a great sense of humour. A Bob Dylan fan with great wine art in his man cave. Currently selling a back vintage 2012 Pinot which is probably the best value (and great tasting) wine in the region.

Purchased as a bottle to share in celebration on a future date with circumstances unknown.I've come back to amend this review to note the stunning '08 Pinot, enjoyed watching the sun set with a rough yet satisfying local Inverloch pizza (purchased separately), will remain in my mindseye for life.An important memory for my wife and I as the first family holiday with our beautiful 7 month old daughter.Kudos to Dan and his family (beautiful Millie) for what they have produced. An absolutely stunning organic wine, a wonderful and eclectic location and a terrific experience for those looking for a memory.**Note: Deck image not at cellar door.

Thank you Dan for your hospitality and taste of your lovely wines. We will be back!
