Description

This is only possible because of our special relationship between soil, climate and geographical location.Our vines have a short cool summer in which to accumulate flavours and ripen on the highest vineyard in the Denmark wine-growing region.

Constant wind, summer rain and cloud make viticulture a veritable challenge. Our North facing slopes and free draining soils provide us with the chance to produce wine as unique as our location.

Wine produced are all 100% estate grown and the varities planted are Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier, Merlot, Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc and Semillon. From these grapes Somerset Hill produce a varietal of each, Methode Champenoise from Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier, Chardonnay and a blend of the whites to provide a choice of wine for you to enjoy.

Champagne and Chocolates. Somerset Hill now offer a range of Belgium chocolate truffles made in white, dark and milk chocolate available in eight different flavours - Champagne, Rum, Kahlua, Macadamia, Cointreau, Fruits of Passion, Cocktail Dream and Grand Marnier. These are pure indulgence for the connoisseurs of quality.

Somerset Hill Wines was the first winery to do a full Methode Champenoise (Champagne) from 100% estate grown fruit in Denmark back in 1999. Since then production has risen to over 1,200 cases per year and about to double again soon. Two styles are made a blend of Pinot Noir, pinot Muenier and Chardonnay. Also a drier style a Blanc De Blanc, made of 100% chardonnay. Generally spending a minimum of two years in the bottle before being disgorged and made ready for sale. Our wines grace the tables of some of the best restaurants in Europe and Australia. We now export our wines to the UK, Russia, Poland, Denmark.

Friendly and knowledgeable owner. Had a great chat about his business. Lovely sparkling wine. Will definitely be back next time we visit.

Some of the best wines I've ever had! Better than any $80 bottle I've tried at various special occasions and less than half the price (you just have to travel to Denmark, which isn't exactly a bad thing). It's not like other over inflated egotistical wineries around Margret River with massive dedicated building just for wine tasting. Here you are welcomed into the heart of the operation and are walked through the wines with the owner himself who has fantastic stories and can explain everything about the wines.
