The Vineyards
PDF Print E-mail

The family own two vineyards: one in the Adelaide Hills based at Woodside, and the other in Wrattonbully (just north of Coonawarra).

The Woodside Adelaide hills vineyard produces Sauvignon Blanc (15 acres) and Pinot Noir (5 acres).  The vineyard produces grapes for another iconic wine label as well as our own Barrister Block Adelaide Hills Sauvignon Blanc – and our Sauvignon Blanc was name in the Top 10 (actually listed as number three) in the James Halliday wine guide 2008.

At present we only produce around 500 cases of Sauvignon Blanc under our own label. We do have the capacity to further expand this number, but at present have no immediate plans.
We have produced a Pinot Noir from the estate this year and will be releasing this wine in 2009. We have only produced 300 cases at this stage, but again, there is capacity to increase production.

We have 28 acres of vines in the Wrattonbully GI region. There are 20 acres of Cabernet Sauvignon and 8 acres of Shiraz. We will be releasing our first Wrattonbully Shiraz next month and have 300 cases of this wine.  We additionally produce 1000 cases of the Wrattonbully Cabernet Sauvignon each year.

We also source from a small vineyard near Tanunda in the Barossa valley approx 8 tonne of fruit for our Sparkling GSM, and a small batch of fruit for our Barossa Shiraz each year. The Sparkling GSM is the only Sparkling GSM made in Australia and we produce 1000 cases of this wine .The Barossa Shiraz has already sold out - we produce around 500 cases of this wine each year at present.
