All together the various wines have won over 50 medals in the short time the winery has been operating. The current Shiraz 2006 vintage has won two best Qld shiraz trophies, two gold medals and a silver medal. Our 2007 Verdelho has won a trophy for best Qld white and a silver medal. All the grapes except Verdelho and Muscat from a local vineyard are Estate grown, processed and bottled. It is important to us to keep our product authentic to the region and a 100% Queensland product. #HISTORY
Grant and Sonya Casley acquired the 900 acre property 30 years ago as an unimproved block with no facilities whatsoever. Grant has a farming background and is a Chemical Engineer which seemed to be a good combination to run a vineyard and winery. The intention of planting a vineyard was delayed until 1994 when the ground was prepared for the planting of 24 acres of vines in 1996. The altitude of the vineyard at 900 metres above sea level also makes it an ideal location for cool, long ripening of the grapes.
