Vineyard on sought-after Cambrian soil

"Barnadown Run" is on 36.04 hectares of highly sought-after Cambrian soil on the western side of the Mt Camel Range.

A 10-acre vineyard was planted in 1994 and sits at 930 feet above sea level. Constantly in draught this equates to coolness during the growing season and helps greatly in the control of fungal issues. Importantly also, it is above the frost line. The vineyard is fundamentally dry grown, but drip irrigation can be used if required, and is planted mainly in shiraz with other varieties being viognier, cabernet sauvignon, cabernet franc, merlot and malbec.

The property has a strong water supply with three dams, a reliable bore (under 500 parts per million salt) and a gravity-fed irrigation system to the vineyard and stock troughs.

Approximately 60 acres of the farm is on a share-farm arrangement and is cropped mainly with canola or wheat. This acreage would be ideal to extend the vineyard for increased production. The balance of the farm is on steeper country which is suitable for grazing or building a house with a view.

Above the winery is a two-bedroom dwelling with office, kitchen, dinette, lounge and bathroom and toilet.

Shedding includes a large storage shed, machinery shed enclosed on three sides and a gravity-fed crusher plant with lighting and power.
