Vineyards in the Geelong region

Mulline's purpose and motivation is to produce structural wines with definition and freshness, both single site and regional, that bring new ardour and vitality to the Geelong Region.

Since inception, Mulline has worked with growers and purchased fruit across the Geelong Region with the goal of creating outstanding cool climate wines to grow excitement and understanding of Geelong’s unique and remarkable subregions:

  • Moorabool Valley
  • Bellarine Peninsula
  • Surf Coast

By experimenting with varieties and styles, Mulline showcases the distinctive microclimates, soil composition, and seasonal variation through its Single Vineyard wines made from fruit across the three subregions.

Our Geelong Region Range wines are a combination of fruit from different sites crafted expertly by Ben Mullen to deliver the ultimate expression of each variety as an expression of the vintage year in the Geelong Region.

Subregions

MOORABOOL VALLEY

Between Geelong and Ballarat, Moorabool Valley’s terroir was produced by volcanic activity and mediterranean climate. The warmest and driest of the subregions.

Sutherlands Creek | Pettaval Vineyard. Grey and brown loams and clay loams with granite, planted 1988 to 1998. Low planted, close (1 metre) rows in the French style.

Bannockburn | Bannockburn Vineyards. Limestone clay with a very shallow topsoil horizon, planted 1990 to 1996. A landmark vineyard.

Bellarine Peninsula

South-west of Melbourne surrounded by Port Phillip, Corio Bay and Bass Strait. Maritime climate with views of the You Yangs and Melbourne CBD.

Portarlington | Nurringa Park Vineyard (leased by Mulline). Sandy loam with dark clay over iron stone, planted 1994. Gentle slopes, close planted with uninterrupted coastal breeze.

Drysdale | Leech Vineyard. Grey sandy loam over yellow light clay, planted 1998. A flat and lush vineyard.

Surf Coast

Home of the iconic Great Ocean Road, spectacular coastline, rainforests and beaches. Higher rainfall, long summer days and cooling ocean winds.

Modewarre | Brown Magpie Vineyard. Sandy loan with layers of clay, estuary marl then limestone, planted 2001 to 2002. A protected and lovingly tended patch.

Barrabool Hills

A pocket on the outskirts of Geelong with remarkable steep ridges and impressive revegetation and sustainability credentials, sitting outside of the 3 recognised subregions.

Barrabool | Barwon Ridge Vineyard. Limestone and basalt base, planted 1999. Recognised sustainability certification from Sustainable Winegrowing Australia, soaring views across Moorabool Valley and Bellarine Peninsula.

Artwork

The artwork for the Mulline Single Vineyard labels is by the superb Amy Wright, an artist from Geelong who focuses on abstract landscape paintings, particularly of the Otways (in the Surf Coast sub-region). We commissioned Amy to do her first vineyard painting of our future vineyard inspired by the Geelong Region (oil on canvas). Extracts of the painting are used on the front labels of Mulline's Single Vineyard wines.
