Vineyard History:Moonbark Estate Vineyard is a small family owned and operated vineyard located on 17.1 hectares of land, and established in 1997. Currently there is 4.5 acres of producing Shiraz, Cabernet Sauvignon & Merlot grapes.The Estate:The Vineyard is located at Moonambel, Victoria within the Pyrenees wine region of Australia renowned for producing quality red wines.The vineyard currently produces on average 9 tonnes of premium quality grapes, with Shiraz being the predominate variety. The soils of the vineyard are red clay intermingled with quartz, typical of the soils found within the golden triangle of Central Victoria.Our Philosophy:Great wines are made in the vineyard and this can only be achieved by careful management of the relationship between soil and vine.Although the vineyard is what I like to call ‘miniscule boutique’, the production of quality wine on the small scale, holds no less challenges than the larger players in the wine industry.The grapes produced on the vineyard are of high quality, ultimately resulting in wine of integrity and quality.
