Say hello to Mt Franklin Estate, home of Mafic Wines. Taste at our Wine Shed, purchase by glass or bottle. Groups of five or more, please call ahead as space is limited.

Well-behaved doggos (on leads) always welcome.

Mt Franklin Estate blends into the fresh lava flow from Mt Franklin - Lalgambuk - just a few minutes north of Daylesford. When Lalgambuk last blew its top, it bedded down the mafic geology of this rich landscape with its many stories.

Our Mafic wines capture the volcano’s mineral flavours and textures and genuine Mt Franklin spring water. Vines thrive under clear skies at cool elevation 360 metres above sea level in a far north-west corner of the Macedon wine region.

Hand-reared vines of Dolcetto, Pinot Grigio and Nebbiolo continue a tradition of fresh, accessible Italian-style wines - a nod to Swiss-Italian migrants who brought their craft to our part of the world in the mid-19th century.

We acknowledge the Dja Dja Wurrung people as Traditional Owners of the land. We recognise their continuing connection to land, waters and culture and pay our respects to Elders past and present. We look after this country, respecting the ground we walk upon.
