[Wine Country]() Winery [Red Hill]() # Tuck's Ridge A founding Red Hill estate, mid-1980s, renewed focus on single-vineyard Pinot Noir and a deck view to Western Port that earns the drive. Known for Planted mid-1980s, one of the founding estates of the Red Hill cellar-door corridor Turramurra Pinot Noir as the signature wine Deck view to Western Port, one of the quieter great views on the ridge Repositioned under a refreshed team with renewed focus on single-vineyard wines Small-format food pairings available on weekends +61 3 5989 8660 Tuck's Ridge · Red Hill Why we’d go Tucks Ridge is the quieter alternative to the busier cellar doors on Main Ridge, same founding history, same views, fewer people competing for a table on the deck. Tucks Ridge was planted in the mid-1980s, placing it among the Red Hill corridor's founding estates. The property has been through a quiet repositioning under a refreshed team in recent years, the focus has sharpened back onto single-vineyard wine, and the Turramurra Pinot Noir is the expression to understand the estate by. It's the kind of wine that rewards the effort of getting there, which is not something you can say about every cellar door on this ridge. The deck view to Western Port is one of the better vantage points in the hinterland, genuinely earned rather than framed by a purpose-built structure. On weekends the kitchen runs small-format food pairings, which makes a tasting into something more substantial without tipping into the full lunch territory. If you're visiting mid-week, check the website for current hours before you drive, the opening schedule can run tighter than the bigger operations on the Peninsula. Book a tasting, stay for a glass of the Turramurra Pinot after the flight is done, and use the deck. Worth knowing **Best for** Wine lovers · Cellar door visits · Couples · Scenic views If you only do one thing Book the tasting and ask to sit on the deck, order the Turramurra Pinot Noir as your final pour.
