The vineyard is amongst the highest altitude wineries in Australia at some 840 metres above sea level. Situated on a gentle sloping, south-facing field, the rows of vines are oriented north to south giving them bright morning sunlight but the chance to cool and sweeten in the late afternoon. The granitic sandy soils together with warm summers and cool evenings provide the ideal conditions for growing premium fruit with these alternative varieties that thrive in similar conditions as the Rhone Valley wines of France and the Rioja region in Spain.
White Wines and Rose… Chardonnay, Viognier, Verdelho, Semillon, Riesling, Pinot Gris, Rose (Cabernet Sauvignon).
