Our Wines
We established our vineyard at 1000m above sea level in the cool climate of Ballandean in the Granite Belt, QLD in 1999. We are a family owned and run boutique winery with a passion for creating beautiful wines. We have released our wines four years ago and proud to have James Halliday rate our winery 4.5 stars in his latest 2009 Wine Companion with 6 wines receiving a rating of 90 points or more! Our 2003 Reserve Shiraz won the first ever gold medal to go to a QLD winery at the 2005 Sydney Royal Wine Show and was the second highest scoring wine of the show – second only to Tyrrells Vat 1 Semillon.

This wine is a beautiful blend of raspberry and blackberry, exotic spice such as nutmeg and cinnamon balanced with sweet cedar oak. The Shiraz component (50%) gives the wine white pepper and spices, whilst the Cabernet provides the rich red and black berry fruits. This wine is named in honour of our daughter, Zara Danying. We adopted our precious child, Danying, from China in the month of March, 2004, the very month these grapes were handpicked and crushed. “Dan” means the essence of red-like this wine - strong and vibrant. “Ying” translates to a beautiful singing bird. Both sing a symphony, one with voice, one from the vines. Just as the wine is a blend of two varieties, weaving their individual strength and beauty, so too is our family now a blend of Chinese and Australian cultures. 10% of sales of this wine will be donated to the amazing organization, “Asian Kids In Danger” who support Asian orphans, slum children and women escaping prostitution.
