The block which is surrounded by King Lake National park consists of 50:50 Chardonnay and Pinot Noir vines and is completely un-irrigated and hand nurtured.

Situated in the picturesque hillside setting at Dixons Creek, Steels Gate Cellar Door and Restaurant is located just 60km from the heart of Melbourne.

Wine

Bobar Wines

Born of a love of nature, doing things the slow way and a shared dream, Bobar has a sense of what is old is new is old again. Grapes are perfect to make wine just the way they are, nothing added and nothing taken away.

Home is Yarra Glen, a town that the Yarra River lazily slides through on the western side of the Yarra Valley at the base of the precipitous Christmas Hills range. The vineyards where our wines are grown are secreted into the hills to the west and the Steels Creek and Dixons Creek valleys to the north of the township.

The Bobar wines are made simply but with precision, intent and craft. They are natural wines without chicanery, thumping or whirring and are an unbridled expression of this part of the Yarra Valley’s unique confluence of climate and terrain. Bobar wines are made with love, passion and soul.
