Australia Wine New South Wales Wines and Vineyards Bloodwood Estate Bloodwood is synonymous with quality wine and food of the rapidly emerging Orange Region. We (that is Rhonda and Stephen Doyle) planted the pioneering wine grape vineyard of the area in the Spring of 1983. Although there had been no previous experience with commercial wine grapes in the district, these first Merlot Noir vines we planted thrived in the warm, free draining gravels of Bloodwood and the first vintage yielding 650 litres of exciting varietal essence duly followed in April 1986. Over the last twenty four years, we have carefully selected and planted those sites on our property which we believe offer the best potential for the production of the high quality, cool climate fruit which is the foundation of all Bloodwood wine styles. The vineyard now is home to 21,274 Vinifera vines planted on their own roots and covering 8.072 Hectares of the best site in the Orange Region. Wine making is a science which finds its ultimate expression as art. Wine making is not a recipe, but it is a fairly clearly defined process. It is more environmental theater than operating theater, but in both performances it should be foremost in the players minds that it's the paying public who decide what will get a cheer and what won't .. What follows are the loose ingredients of our recipe for red and white wine...but its the fruit of Bloodwood which provides the artistic direction for each of our styles.
