Contentious Character Vineyard, Winery, Cellar Door & Kitchen.

The Contentious Character Story

What’s a little contention between friends?
Contrasting views make life more interesting,
and wine more rewarding.
We may challenge each other,
but united, we stand our ground,
and answer to just three things.
Our hearts.
Our tastebuds.
And the like-minded folk who visit us.
Everything else is debatable.
After all, in Canberra taking sides comes with the territory.

So here’s to you, however you are.

Come visit, raise a glass, ruffle some feathers,
and celebrate your contentious character.
It makes you someone worth drinking with.

The Founders Museum - A unique tasting experience

Every story starts somewhere, ours harks back to the old-vine Lambert Vineyards. When we moved in, we became caretakers to a legacy, and a collection of lovingly made wine, aging gracefully in the cellar. Pre-aged, this Founder’s (The Lambert Family) Museum wine is ready to dust-off and drink now, or cellar a few years longer. It’s your call.

‘The Lambert family made high quality wines with great skill and sensitivity.' (Halliday Wine Companion 2017).

These aged wines have matured exceptionally well with cellaring and now present a mellow complexity, way beyond their value, and will be complemented by the Contentious Character range in mid 2017.

Look across the vineyard and surrounding countryside, while our kitchen serves up a fresh, local farm based menu, including wood-fired pizza, cheese and charcuterie.

We pair our food to our wine (not the wine to the food!), enjoy the difference it makes at the table.

A relaxed and casual environment created by eclectic furnishings, and the friendly and local service.

Weddings, corporate and family events designed to your taste.
