Terrey and Barbie Johnson (and family) raise beef cattle on a property at the southern end of Orange. Seeking to diversify, and to lessen the impact of drought through the establishment of an irrigated perennial crop, the Johnsons have planted a vineyard at an elevation of 960 m, making it one of the coolest in the region. The plantings began in 1990 with chardonnay and cabernet sauvignon, the latter now grafted or removed because the climate is simply too cool. Most of the 80–85-tonne production from the chardonnay, merlot, sauvignon blanc, pinot noir and pinot gris is sold to various producers making Orange-designated wines. A steadily increasing portion of the grapes is retained for the Bantry Grove label, with Pinot Gris added in 2012. The wines are sold through membership of Bantry Grove’s Inner Circle Wine Club and local outlets, with some Sydney distribution.
