Battely is owned by Dr Russell Bourne, he is also the winemaker and viticulturist. Located on the site of the old Brown Brothers Everton Hills vineyard, this superbly sited and well drained granite based vineyard was planted in 1998 to Syrah, Durif, Marsanne and a little Viognier. The vineyard is slightly lower in altitude than its neighbor Giaconda, and as a result the site is a little warmer and ripens before some other Beechworth producers.
