Braydun Hill Vineyard
Situated on high ground next to the Onkaparinga Gorge National Park, overlooking McLaren Vale and Willunga townships to the south and the Onkaparinga estuary and the ocean to the west, Braydun Hill vineyard is blessed with gentle breezes which cool the summer sun.
For many generations, Braydun Hill has been used as a grazing property, for cattle, sheep and angora goats. The ideal grape growing position led to the decision to plant the vineyard in the mid 1990s, and in 1998 the first vines were planted. The decision was made at the time to aim to produce top quality grapes from the variety which traditionally has been used to make the very best full bodied red wine, namely Shiraz.
We do not grow any white varieties, as the position and topography and soil of the vineyard is perfect for top quality red. Our philosophy is to do one thing and to excel.
Combining the tradition of grazing and grape growing, we move our sheep into the vineyard straight after vintage where they stay until budburst in the spring. Permanent pasture between the rows provides good feed, and in return the sheep provide natural fertiliser for the vines.
Shiraz lovers are welcome to visit us, have a tour of the vineyard and sample our premium wine. The small cosy cellar door is open most weekends. We both look forward to seeing you soon!
