Grape varieties grown in the 12 acre vineyard include Riesling, Shiraz, Savignon Blanc, Sangiovese, Cabernet Savignon, Cabernet Franc, Chardonnay, Viognier and Grenache. Produce approximately 15 to 20 tons per year.

The current owners ran the winery themselves for a number of years and in more recent times heading towards their retirement, have outsourced much of the winery business activities.
