Summit Estate is the public face of the Stanthorpe Wine Co, owned by a syndicate of 10 professionals who work in Brisbane, and share a love of wine. They operate the Stanthorpe Wine Centre, which offers wine education as well as selling wines from other makers in the region (and, of course, from Summit Estate). The 17-ha vineyard is planted to chardonnay, marsanne, pinot noir, shiraz, merlot, tempranillo, petit verdot and cabernet sauvignon, and they have set up a small, specialised contract winemaking facility. The wines have improved out of all recognition under the direction of Argentine-born and Spanish-trained Paola Cabezas Rhymer. Exports to the UK.

At Summit Estate we treat grapes as a most precious resource. Using the best winemaking techniques our dedicated team hand picks the grapes, de-stems , hand sorts on our selection table and then gravity feeds the berries into the press for whites, fermentation vats for reds or new French oak fermentation barrels for premium reds. We manually plunge the fermenting red grapes and after maceration the wine is then gravity fed into the basket press.
The grape varieties we use are Verdelho, Marsanne, Viognier Chardonnay, White Muscat, Shiraz, Cabernet, Merlot, Monastrell, Malbec, Garnacha, Tempranillo, Tannat, Petit Verdot and Pinot Noir
