Click on thumbnail to enlarge Grape Vines Pinot Noir Chardonnay The Vineyard at Karriview

The vineyard produces small parcels of quality pinot noir and chardonnay fruit from its 4ha vineyard


Planting began in 1986, chardonnay and pinot noir were chosen because they were considered best suited to the cool Denmark environment.  Nearly 8,000 closely planted vines now flourish with production averaging around 3 tonnes per hectare.
The red loam soil with outcrops of granite represent the combination of typical coastal karri tree country.  The Karri trees surrounding the vineyard create a unique microclimate within the vineyard which ensures a long slow ripening period.
Due to the closely planted vines, all vineyard work is completed by hand, including pruning and picking. The surrounding karri trees are home to many birds and the vines are netted annually to protect the fruit.  Organic principals are undertaken in the vineyard and hence no pesticides are used in the vineyard.
