Barangaroo Boutique Wines is located just outside the Grampians but within the Grampians touring region in Victoria, just 10 minutes from Horsham and an interesting day trip from Halls Gap.
The winery is a busy place in March when the vintage comes in. All the wine grapes are hand picked with special tender care given to each bunch to prevent bruising. These grapes are then gently crushes before being fermented in open vats with commercial yeast.
When fermentation is complete the skins are pressed off to allow juice to be placed into barrels. Oak as well as containers with oak staves are used to impart the necessary nuances to the wine.
Meanwhile the wine that has matured for 12 to 18 months in oak have been bottled and stored ready for sale from the cellar door or retailed from specially selected outlets locally.
The cellar door has an entrance from the car park to the west, the side where Mt Arapiles stands boldly.
The landscaped outdoor area has a native and Tuscan feel with rendered walls and a pond.
On warmer days the outdoor seating is ideal under the shade of the vine trellis.
Currently the cellar door is open weekends and public holidays and at other times by appointment. Just call up ahead of time to organise a tour.
The Vineyard is located on a high ridge overlooking a timbered creek. To the south east is the Grampians in the distance and to the west is the spectacular Mt Arapiles.
