Macedon Ranges wineries escape unscathed after Lancefield bushfires

WINERIES in the Macedon Ranges have escaped unscathed from the bushfire that tore through their region last month. The blaze came close to the edge of some vineyards, but there was no damage or smoke taint in grapes, giving Macedon’s biggest wine festival the go ahead. Llew Knight from Granite Hills Winery at Baynton said the Lancefield fire was near his vineyard but his grapes were not affected.
