Pennyweight
Winery was established by Stephen and Elizabeth Morris in 1982.
Stephen
Newton Morris, winemaker at Pennyweight Winery, and owner with
his family, has had his skills passed down from great-grandfather,
George Francis Morris, who established the first Morris winery
at Rutherglen in 1860.
Every
Grape lovingly selected for this wine has been hand-picked.
Stephen will not allow machine harvesting.
Fine
wines must be aged in oak barrels, not steel. The Pennyweight
wines rest in the dark in oak casks, some of them brought out
from Spain in the 1930s.
Stephen
Morris is proud of Pennyweight's organically-grown, luscious
fruit, grown in a superb Beechworth climate, and takes unbelievable
care that true wine bouquets and unique flavours are locked
away in each bottle.
Pennyweight
Winery is a warm, friendly, family winery, managed by Stephen
and Elizabeth and their three sons, Frederick, Stephen and
Charles.
Cellar
door sales are available from 10am till 5pm, 7 days a week,
closed Good Friday, Christmas day and Boxing day.
