Vineyards

The Laurie family vineyards are located on Deviation Road, the wineries namesake, at Carey Gully. Nestled among the high slopes of the Mount Lofty ranges, the forty-acre vineyard is one of the oldest in the area, planted in 1983.

This cool climate vineyard, at an altitude of nearly 600 metres, is perfect for producing aromatic and elegant white wines with excellent ageing potential. The Deviation Road vineyard produces all the fruit that goes into our Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Gris, Pinot Noir and Chardonnay.

We have multiple clones of the Pinot Noir and Chardonnay varieties. By planting these different clones on the varied slopes and expositions we have available we are able to produce a range of characteristics which will eventually be blended into the final wine.

Trial plots of Riesling will come into production in 2010. We believe this variety will do exceptionally well at our site.
