Quartz Hill was first planted in 1995. The grapevines respond beautifully to the soils and climates here. Our harsh cold winters and long dry summers ensure optiumum quality. Once in the winery, the intention is to let the natural terroir shine through. This is why we utilise such traditional winemaking techniques. Our aim is that each bottle of Quartz Hill wine be a quality expression of the place where it is grown.
Summerfield is a family business consisting of Ian Summerfield and his two sons, fourth generation Moonambel locals Craig and Mark. Ian tends to the vines daily, and his expertise in farming and viticulture has been passed on to his sons. Additionally, Craig has a Bachelor of Applied Science in Oenology through Roseworthy Agricultural College in South Australia, and has worked in the industry in the Hunter Valley and in Victoria at Yellowglen. Mark has recently taken the reigns as head winemaker, and continues to work with Craig and Ian in developing Summerfield's award winning labels.
