Bellarmine Wines produces a range of Individual wines made from grapes grown on its picturesque estate in the cool climate region of Pemberton, Western Australia. The vineyard was planted in 2000 and is owned by German doctor Willi Schumacher and his wife Gudrun. The Schumachers are passionate about great wine. They searched the world for a place to plant vines before choosing the Bellarmine property.
The vineyard is 20 hectares in size, and planted with Riesling, Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Noir, Shiraz, Merlot and Petit Verdot varieties. The vines are grown in gravel laterite soils, on an elevated site 220 metres above seal level. Irrigation is used rarely in this high rainfall area. Bellarmine was a pioneering producer of Riesling in the Pemberton region, and produces three styles (dry, off-dry, and sweet) which have consistently received high ratings and reviews, and developed a loyal following.
Winemaker Dr Diane Miller is very excited about the quality of grapes coming out of the Bellarmine vineyard, that she says allow her to produce wines full of flavour and balance. Diane has been making wine for Bellarmine since the first year of production in 2004, and now also manages the company.
Bellarmine Wines are sold throughout Australia and exported to a number of countries.

A wine merchant and family friend noted that many of the great wines and wine regions have names beginning with the letter "P". Pomerol, Petrus, Pauillac and Pommard are examples. Picardy strives to continue this tradition of wine making quality and excellence.
