The story of
Bay of Shoals Wines
Our vineyard is located on the property at Bay of Shoals, just north of Kingscote, Kangaroo Island.
In 1992 we put in a nursery bed of cuttings and the resultant rootlings were planted in 1993. Our first harvest of Cabernet Sauvignon was in 1998, Chardonnay followed in 1999, Shiraz in 2000, Riesling in 2001 and Sauvignon Blanc in 2004.
More recently we have planted Pinot Noir, Pinot Gris and Savagnin Blanc which will be harvested for the first time in 2012.
We have 10 hectares of vines and currently produce approximately 50 tonnes of grapes per year and now sell as much as we make, even with the addition of grapes from Nepean Ridge vineyard which we lease and manage.
