VINEYARDS

Ghostgum Vineyard is planted on a gentle, east-facing slope in Main Ridge, one of the highest elevation growing areas of the Mornington Peninsula. Here we farm 5.5 hectares of mature Pinot Noir and Chardonnay vines. Our first vintage at Ghostgum came from the 2021 season.

The vineyard soils are red ferrosols – deep, friable, and porous red soils that can also retain enough water to avoid having to use irrigation. These soils are basalt derived where the odd ‘buckshot’ chunk of ironstone can still be found.
