Levantine Hill Estate, Yarra Valley
A destination for those who seek the extraordinary. Set within the rolling hills of Victoria’s Yarra Valley, Levantine Hill is where architecture, viticulture and the art of dining align in harmony. Ranked #3 Winery in Australia by The Real Review, every element, from vineyard to table, is shaped by an uncompromising pursuit of perfection and the craftsmanship of cool-climate winemaking. A symbol of contemporary elegance, Levantine Hill offers refined Mediterranean dining, long, lingering lunches, and architecturally striking spaces for weddings and private events. In 2026, a 33-room luxury hotel by Fender Katsalidis will open on the estate, further enriching a destination defined by sophistication and rarity.

Optume: Wines of Levantine Hill
Created by founder Elias Jreissati and Chief Winemaker Paul Bridgeman, Optume embodies the pinnacle of Levantine Hill’s philosophy, a tireless pursuit of perfection. These handcrafted collector’s wines transcend vineyard boundaries to express the Yarra Valley in its most precise and pure form. Produced in extremely limited quantities, Optume represents true craftsmanship without compromise.

2022 Optume Chardonnay
Sourced from six blocks across three sites, the 2022 Chardonnay combines volume, intensity and elegance. Matured in French oak and concrete tulips, it reveals notes of tangerine, chamomile and flint, unfolding into citrus zest and crème anglaise on the palate. Perfect with butter-poached crayfish, seared scallops or truffle risotto.

2021 Optume Shiraz
A refined evolution of Australian Shiraz, inspired by the Northern Rhône. The 2021 vintage balances red and black fruits such as loganberry, plum and cranberry, with white pepper, clove and porcini. Graceful tannins and exceptional length define this wine. Ideal with chargrilled lamb or wild mushroom ragù.

The Art of Optume
Each bottle or case of six is presented in a handcrafted timber box and accompanied by a numbered key, symbolising rarity, devotion and artistry. Experience Optume, where craftsmanship, provenance and patience converge in pursuit of perfection.
