The TOP 10 BEST Wineries & Vineyards in Rugby NSW

Rockleigh Vineyard, just 5km south of Young in the Hilltops Region in Southern New South Wales, was a neglected plum orchard when it was acquired by Chalkers Crossing. The orchard was converted to a modern 10ha vineyard in late 1997 with the planting of Riesling, Semillon, Shiraz and Cabernet Sauvignon. The first crop from these vines was harvested in early 2000. Kylmorn Vineyard, 7 kms south of Young in the Hilltops Region, is the latest acquisition of the owners of Chalkers Crossing. It is a 17ha sustainably managed vineyard planted in 2002 with Riesling, Chardonnay and Shiraz.
