Long Shadow Wines
Long Shadow Wines is a small winery in the Yarra Valley producing fine handmade wines. Wine makers Dick Richey and Bruce Hawksworth started off each making wines separately as a hobby. In 2012 they decided to get together and make wines for others to enjoy.
Picking, crushing, pressing and bottling is done by
hand and we employ a range of volunteer friends when the hard work needs
to be done.
All
our Pinot Noir is sourced from Allan Smith of Lira Lira winery which
closed a few years ago but continued to maintain a small number of
vines. Our other varietals are sourced from various vineyards in the Yarra
Valley and surrounds where we try to select handpicked fruit, always the
best quality and always at the optimum time.

Block 47 RangeFacing East on a Heritage Ridge line. On a hidden allotment nestled in hills of Croydon we grow a small amount of hand tendered vines. These small lots of hand-picked grapes allow us to take a little more time with each wine. Meticulously overseen by Dick Richey each wine is hand crafted in small amounts to ensure the wine retains the delicate fine fruit flavours from each variety.
A patient wife and good friends are also an important ingredient. |
