Fighting Gully Road

Fighting Gully Road create wines inspired by their site, experience, and curiosity, with a deep passion for Italian wines and their savoury, refined style. After discovering Sangiovese in Tuscany in 1995, they saw the climatic similarities between northern Italy and their Beechworth home, aiming to set the standard for Australian Sangiovese. Each vintage sees continued improvement, experimenting with wild yeasts, alternative winemaking methods, and barrel aging to refine their craft.
