Formerly known as Piesse Brook Wines, Aldersyde Estate is a small family winery in the Perth Hills specializing in handcrafted wines from fruit grown entirely on the estate vineyard. This means the furthest our fruit travels is about 100m to the winery, where practically all the winemaking procedures are done by hand, from hand picking and hand sorting the grapes to winding up the hydraulic wooden basket press to gently extract the wine press fraction. Relatives and friends join in and help at critical times, including vintage and pruning, but Aldersyde is essentially a mother-daughter operation, with Larissa looking after the vines and winemaking and mother, Di, in charge of cellar door sales.
