About Us
The vineyard is 50 acres with 33 acres under vines. It has a generally north to south slope, giving excellent sun exposure. We use two wires (called foliage wires) on either side of the rows of grapes to lift the leafy canopy during the growing season to ensure the grapes gain appropriate sun exposure for ripening and to promote colour and flavour in the red grapes.

Four different clones of Shiraz are grown and generally blended together in order to achieve complexity of flavour. The clone of Riesling grown is an American development of a German traditional clone from Geisenheim.

The vines are all hand pruned and usually mechanically harvested. The Riesling is cane-pruned in order to promote flavour and regulate crop yield.

The white grapes are harvested at night to ensure the grapes are delivered and processed while they remain cool. The harvesting usually begins in late March and finishes in April.
Our Area
Four Winds Vineyard is located to the north of Canberra just east of Murrumbateman, on the Murrumbateman Road. The thirty-three acre vineyard was planted in 1998 and 1999 with six varieties; Shiraz, Riesling, Cabernet, Merlot, Chardonnay and Sangiovese.

The Canberra District is a cool climate region giving the wines their distinctive flavour. The wines are made onsite at the vineyard’s winery by Graeme and Jaime Lunney.
