Welcome to Just Red Wines
|
We are a boutique winery in the Granite Belt region of Queensland. As our name
suggests we are specialists in red wine.
We are very easy to find. Just turn east into Eukey Rd at the Ballandean Post
Office and we're exactly three km from the New England Highway.
Although most people associate Queensland with warm subtropical beaches, we are
in a unique climatic region just west of the Great Dividing Range near the New
South Wales border. Our altitude of almost 900m provides cool nights in the
summer and very cool winters. The warm Queensland sunshine is particularly
suited to growing red wine and hence we have chosen to specialise.
Our soils are decomposing granite similar to the best soils of the Hermitage
appellation of the Cotes du Rhone in France. Hermitage is the home of Syrah or
Shiraz as we call it here in Australia. Our summer temperatures are also
similar to this region and therefore Syrah is our flagship wine.
Through experimentation we have also found that some of our soils produce an
excellent Merlot.
Our cellar door is open for tasting and sales year round on weekends and public
holidays 10.00am to 5.00 pm except Christmas Day and Good Friday.
Outside these hours we open by appointment. We ask also that large groups please
make an appointment.
Phone 07 4684 1322 or 0419 795 329.
