Henry, Harriet and (little) Albert Churchill are the recent stewards of Zig Zag Rd Winery located on Dja Dja Wurrung Country in Malmsbury. Since taking the reigns, they have been on an incredible journey working with some of Macedon Ranges very best winemakers and biodynamic viticulturists to make wine and grow grapes in a way that is in relationship with the land and involves minimal intervention in the winery.

“We love all the funky species that make up our delicate soils and we have a serious job to do to protect the land we are stewarding. That’s why we are starting on our journey to farming using more regenerative practices. No more nasty sprays.”

Zig Zag Rd makes wine that express the coolest wine making climate of Australia – the Macedon Ranges. With hot days and cool nights, aromatics and acidity dominate, which is combined with beautiful flavours and textures from vines planted nearly 50 years ago. In some of the wines there is a wonderful minerality due to the old, rich volcanic soil.
