A very special favourite returns to the tasting list!

With our Cellar Door tasting list freshly updated for the season, we’re thrilled to welcome back the 2022 Ondine Sparkling Shiraz Cabernet.

This beautiful ruby-red sparkling w**e was created to celebrate 50 years of w**emaking at Passing Clouds, making it a very special part of our story and our family.

Rich in history, full of character and an absolute delight to taste and drink, Ondine is a w**e worth taking your time over.

Why not pop in, discover (or rediscover) this special drop and enjoy a glass with us?

Available to taste, enjoy by the glass and purchase from our Cellar Door.

📍 Passing Clouds, Musk
🍷 Cellar Door open 7 days a week from 10am.

We look forward to welcoming you!

We are proud to be part of the Macedon Ranges W**e Region, an area renowned for its outstanding cool-climate w**es and distinctive landscapes.

We are honoured to be included on this list alongside our fellow w**eries and members of the Macedon Ranges w**e community.

It is a privilege to contribute to a region with such a strong reputation for quality, craftsmanship and cool-climate w**emaking.

Pinot noir loves a cool climate – which makes it a natural fit for the ultra-chilly Macedon Ranges region. Is this Australia’s pinot promised land – or does the difficulty of growing grapes here mean it will never make the mainstream? Inside: the full backstory, plus the top w**es to emerge fr...

The many shades and colours of our beautiful Estate Vineyard.

Sitting at 742m above sea level in the Macedon Ranges, our cool-climate vineyard in Musk is home to Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Blanc.

Looking after a vineyard is an intensive labour of love. It’s a living, breathing thing that changes with every season, and every year we find ourselves in awe of what it gives us.

We’ve just entered bud burst — a sure sign that Spring is in the air.

And now, the exciting part begins… watching the vineyard awaken and wondering what the 2027 Vintage will hold.

We can’t wait to find out.

We’re incredibly proud of our Head W**emaker, Tim Castle, who was recently selected to attend the prestigious Advanced W**e Assessment Course (AWAC) in Adelaide.
Selection for AWAC is an achievement in itself. Applicants are carefully considered based on their formal w**e-tasting experience before undertaking this intensive four-day program, which develops w**e assessment and sensory analysis skills at an elite level and prepares potential w**e-show judges.
Tim brings an incredible depth of knowledge to Passing Clouds, but it’s his genuine love of learning — and his enthusiasm for sharing that knowledge with our team — that makes such an impact.
His passion is infectious, and we’re very lucky to have him at the w**emaking helm.

Congratulations, Tim!

🍷 Happy International Grenache Day!

Have you tried our Nueva Grenache?

A new vintage has just landed, and the 2024 Grenache is now available to taste and purchase at the Cellar Door.

Sourced from one of the Riverland’s highest-quality old-vine vineyards, low cropping levels and the judicious use of whole bunches have resulted in a delicious expression of this classic variety.

Elegant and stylish, with delicacy and drive, the 2024 Grenache is made to be enjoyed as is — or ever so slightly chilled.

Perfect alongside a table of tapas, or simply enjoyed on its own.

Come and celebrate Grenache with us - Cellar Door open 7 days a week or available to purchase via our website.
