Acknowledgement of Country
We're only able to grow our vines thanks to those who have cared for the land for generations before us.
Behind the Name
Belle Bambra translates to "Beautiful Mushroom"; a combination of French and Indigenous Australian language.
The Otways are have an abundance of mushrooms, with an environment housing the perfect growing conditions. And so this is how our name was born!

Otways Hinterland - the home of Belle Bambra
The terroir of the Otways Hinterland is defined by its unique combination of climate, geology, and topography, which all contribute to the region's distinctive character.
The Otways Hinterland benefits from a cool and temperate climate, with high rainfall and mild temperatures throughout the year. This climate creates ideal conditions for the growth of lush rainforest, dense eucalyptus forests, and verdant farmland.
The region's geology is also a defining factor in its terroir. The soil is predominantly rich, fertile volcanic loam, which is ideal for growing a wide variety of crops, including fruits, vegetables, and wine grapes.
The rugged topography of the Otways Hinterland adds further complexity to its terroir. Rolling hills, deep valleys, and winding rivers all shape the landscape, creating unique microclimates that contribute to the diversity of the region's flora and fauna.
These factors all come together to create a terroir that is rich and diverse, with a range of flavors and aromas that are unique to the region. The Otways Hinterland is known for producing a variety of high-quality produce, including wine, cheese, and artisanal goods, all of which reflect the region's distinctive terroir.
