Centennial Vineyards

The first and only five star winery in the Southern Highlands.

Centennial Vineyards is located just minutes from the historic township of Bowral in the Southern Highlands of New South Wales, just over an hour south of Sydney. This premium cool climate vineyard at over 760m in altitude (in winter snow is possible) ensures grapes ripen slowly with enhanced flavour and intensity. Slow ripening together with fastidious attention to viticulture and low cropping levels, results in premium quality fruit, creating wines of elegance and distinction. Our wine has been acknowledged at wine shows, internationally and nationally, with over 330 medals won from trophy to bronze, all in our first 3 years.

Our Bowral Vineyard set over 80 acres, has earlier ripening varietals such as Chardonnay, Pinot Gris, Gewurztraminer, Gruner Veltliner, Albarino, Riesling, Pinot Noir (4 clones) and Tempranillo. Of particular importance are the traditional Champagne varieties – Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, and Pinot Meunier.

Our Bridge Creek Vineyard is located in the sunnier and warmer region  of Orange at 850m in altitude and west-facing for good afternoon sun exposure. Dry, continental weather patterns allow us to fully ripen mid-late ripening varietals. We have old vine plantings of high-quality Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, exciting new plantings of the very rare Mencia, Rondinella & Corvina, and Pinot Noir (Abel clone), Shiraz and Viognier. The vineyard is farmed sustainably and is in the process of gaining organic certification.
