Made up mostly of family-owned wineries with a number of well established larger commercial producers, the Granite Belt wine industry was pioneered by the Puglisi family (Ballandean Estate Wines) and the Robinson Family (Robinsons Family Vineyards). The Granite Belt now boasts Australias best Verdelho (Robert Channon Wines) and some of Australias most sought after reds (2005 Petit Verdot at Ravens Croft Wines) - and these are just to name a couple!   Visit the cellar doors and meet first hand the people behind the wines - unique to our region - the wine and the people still go hand in hand.   We use and recommend Filippos Tours.

Granite Belt Varieties

Shiraz and Syrah are both names for the same red wine grape. The Shiraz grape was once thought to have originated in Persia, but recent research indicates the grape is a native of the Rhone valley, in France. The grape creates a heavy red wine that has recently fallen out of favor with many wine lovers.

Cabernet Sauvignon is the name of both the grape and the wine it produces. Cabernet is known as one of the worlds finest red wines, with its depth of complexity and richness of flavor. Other names for this grape and wine are Petit Cabernet, Petit Vidure and Vidure, and in Italy, Uva Francese.

Chardonnay is thought to have originated in Lebanon, and in France, Chardonnay became the only grape allowed to be grown in Chablis, Burgundy. These white Bungundy wines were well enjoyed, and the grape is also used in sparkling wines.

Verdelho is a Portuguese variety which performs well in Australia and is used to produce dry, sweet and fortified wine styles. Verdelho is best described as a generously flavored style, reminiscent of tropical fruits, and balanced with crisp acidity. Rich textured palate, juicy tropical fruit flavors and soft acid.

Sauvignon Blanc has been used for generations in France, and came to California in 1878. In the US it is sometimes called Fumé Blanc , a name first coined by Robert Mondavi to play up its smoky flavors. The sales of the wine under this new name now exceed sales under the original name.

The official Granite Belt Wine Region or Geographic Indicator (GI) mirrors the old Stanthorpe Shire, covering the area from Dalveen in the north, down to Wallangarra on the Qld/NSW border.
