Owens Casserly’s selling agent Nick van Vliet, who is selling the property with fellow agent John Lewis, said the vineyard has been owned by the same family for decades.

“It’s a well-known vineyard and quality of the produce and the location is definitely a strong point,” Mr Vliet said.

Set in a picturesque location that offers panoramic views of rolling hills, the vineyard sits at the south-western fringe of the Adelaide Hills Geographical Indicator (GI) for wine grapes.

The family-owned vineyard offers six grape varietals – Cabernet Sauvignon, Shiraz, Merlot, Chardonnay, Pinot Gris and Sauvignon Blanc – and is a regular supplier to leading wineries in the region.

The premium vines have also borne award-winning results.

The vineyard’s Reynell Clone Cabernet, planted in 1998, has been an ‘A grade’ fruit for the last 8 years. While the vineyard’s Chardonnay has found its way into a well-known ‘wooded’ chardonnay label that has won many gold medals, the Pinot Gris, planted in 2021, has won multiple awards, including gold in Melbourne and best Mediterranean White in Brisbane.

With robust annual harvests, the vineyard has business potential to grow further as a cellar door or for rolling out a new wine label.
