Tammar Gully is a viable farming proposition based on viticulture, fat lamb and wool production. The main operation is the 13.56 hectare vineyard. Grape yield has been managed between 120 and 140 tonne in the past and will increase to around 150 tonne when a new Sauvignon Blanc block comes into full production in 2011. Tammar Gully supplied quality fruit to Goundrey wines for 10 years until vintage 2007 when all fruit was purchased by a major South Australian wine producer and on sold to Wolf Blass. The vintage of 2008 saw all red fruit again purchased by Wolf Blass in SA while our Chardonnay was sold to Alkoomi Wines in Frankland.
Although 2009 was a difficult year for the wine industry, we were successful in placing our best Shiraz block and a parcel of our Cabernet Sauvignon with a new Winery, Matildas Estate in Denmark. The 2010 vintage saw the original owner of Goundrey Wines purchasing our Chardonnay, our best Shiraz and a parcel of the Cabernet. We also contracted Matildas Estate to produce a Shiraz and Sauvignon Blanc for our own sales. And we made a Cabernet Sauvignon ourselves. Both red wines won a medal at the Blackwood Valley and WA Boutique Wine Show in October 2010. Wine production has added to our income stream. Go to the 'wines' link for more information
