The Grange was established in 1840 as a Super Fine Merino farm before it was developed in 2016 for viticulture production.
The 14ha vineyard comprises a varietal spread of pinot noir planted in 2016, pinot gris vines planted in 2023 and chardonnay planted in 2023, with the balance used for grazing.
The property is currently producing pinot noir grapes for award-winning boutique Tasmanian brand, Barringwood Wines.
LAWD director, Elizabeth Doyle, said the option for the inclusion of the Barringwood Wines brands and existing stock presented a unique opportunity to the market.
“Along with this stunning property, which has enormous potential for further viticulture development, there is also the opportunity to purchase the award-winning boutique label with national distribution,” Ms Doyle said.
“We believe The Grange will attract a wide array of buyers ranging from family enterprises already in the viticulture market, to corporate buyers looking to expand.”
