By the late 1800s it had grown to be the largest estate in the area. The wines enjoyed immediate and on-going success at wine shows both domestically and abroad. The onset of the Great Depression, the increasing popularity of fortified wine and the emerging profitability of dairy farming saw the vineyard revert to grazing in the 1920s. It wasn't until the 1960s that the Yarra Valley again rose to prominence as a wine region and St Huberts was once again one of the pioneers. It is becoming less uncommon to make a dry red wine with the variety Pinot Meunier. The style is similar to its brethren Pinot Noir, if a little lighter in depth and complexity. Fruit for the wine was sourced from Justin Fahey’s vineyard on the valley floor adjacent to the Maroondah Highway.
