 Woongooroo Estate lies within the picturesque and prosperous region of Kilcoy - situated in the Somerset Regional Council area. Owners Phil & Gail are members of the Somerset Valleys Grape & Wine Producers' Assoc Inc. This grower group has a high commitment to the production of quality regional grapes, superb local wines and a distinctive Wine Trail. The vineyard is situated at the base of Mount Archer. The rich volcanic soil provides the perfect setting for the production of quality wine grapes. Woongooroo Estate is bordered by the perennial flowing Neurum Creek from which vines are selectively drip irrigated to ensure maximum benefit to the developing complexities within the grape and resultant wine. |
