About
Slow Wine Co is a family-run producer based in the heritage village of Millthorpe, 15 minutes from Orange in NSW. The winery grows Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Pinot Gris, Riesling, Sauvignon Blanc, Merlot, and Gewürztraminer on ancient volcanic soils, fermenting with native yeasts and using natural cold stabilisation for slow, low-intervention winemaking. While not formally certified organic, the approach is minimal-spray and hand-managed throughout. The cellar door opens Thursday through Sunday (11am–5pm Fri–Sat extended to 10pm) and offers guided tastings alongside tapas on Friday and Saturday evenings.
