Tomboy Hill is a tiny vineyard planted in 1984 within
viewing distance(2 km north) of the Eureka Rebellion site.
The
vineyard is planted in the Burgundian mode, 1mx1.2m grid and
low-trellised, and is still, by necessity, hand-pruned, hand-sprayed
and hand-picked. Ballarat's climatic similarities with Burgundy
influence the mode of viticulture and wine-making, with only
chardonnay and pinot noir being grown. |

Apart from "The Tomboy" vineyard wines, single vineyard wines are
made from fruit grown by small growers in the Ballarat Goldfields
district. These are located at Smythe's Creek (Nintingbool
Vineyard), Rokewood Junction, Garibaldi Farm, Scotsburn and
Coghill's Creek(Myola Vineyard). Single vineyard wines are produced
from these vineyards in years in which the quality is sufficiently
high.

Tomboy Hill's second label is called "Rebellion". The chardonnay and
pinot noir wines under this label are blends from these various
vineyards. Tomboy Hill has recently won the "Max Loder" trophy for
the best regionnal chardonnay and pinot noir at the Ballarat Wine
Show. two of the wines which helped secure the trophy were the yet
to be released Rebellion Pinot Noir 2003 and Rebellion Chardonnay
