20 years in the making....
Nashdale Lane Wines was a dream that started in 1994 in Tuscany, Italy. Sitting in a vineyard in Radda in Chianti having helped with completing their vintage we decided that our own vineyard and winery had to be in our future. We spent many years touring the world experiencing & working in different wine regions always with our minds on our own piece of land to develop our own wines.
Nashdale Lane Wines 60-acre vineyard was established in Orange, NSW, in 2001. Owner Nick Segger is part of a pioneering UK organic fruit and vegetable farming family and along with his wife Tanya, searched for more than a decade before finding the perfect vineyard. The couple settled on the Orange site owing to its distinct cool climate, high altitude and nutrient-rich, basalt soil. The duo are hands-on at the winery, in the vineyard and at the onsite cellar door - a newly refurbished apple packing shed on the property. The vineyard is planted with 8 varieties of grape that include Chardonnay, Shiraz, Pinot Gris and Sauvignon Blanc, Riesling, Pinot Noir, Tempranillo and Arneis.
