Our Goldies Unwooded Chardonnay has been given the distinction of selection as the official Parliamentary Wine of the Parliament of Queensland — the first time in history that a Queensland wine has been awarded this status.

Dennis Ferguson founded the winery in 1995 and the first vintage produced one trophy and two medals — an outstanding result for the fledgling vineyard. Success has continued to breed success and now the wines produced continue to grow in stature and flavour. Granite Ridge Wines is a boutique winery that is starting to make an impact on the wider Australian wine-making map.

They can also be purchased by mail order. Refer to the Orders section of this site for a comprehensive list of the wines available.

All wines are made on site from estate grown grapes which are pruned and selectively picked by hand.

Our ART and CRAFT GALLERY includes works from local artists which are for sale.

This climate together with the arid granite rocky soils draws similar comparisons to inland European regions such as northern Spain, the inland south west of France around Cahors and Gaillac, and the upper Rhone Valley in France. These regions have a tradition of delicious characterful wines that are wonderful accompaniments to food. At Hidden Creek we have adopted the inspiration of these regions.

Come see us and relax in the tranquil gardens beside our lake where you can enjoy the peacefull surrounds whilst sipping on some of our exceptional wines and indulging on some tasty treats from the cafe'.

LiráH is an Australian specialty food producer located in the cool, high altitude Granite Belt Region of Queensland, Australia. A family owned business, run by members of the family from Ballandean Estate Winery, LiráH is dedicated to producing high quality ingredients for professional and amateur chefs alike.

I've been making wines for 18 years. After qualifying at Elsenberg, Stellenbosch, South Africa, in 1988, I travelled the wine regions of Europe and Australia culminating in a vintage under the famous Murray Tyrell at Tyrells' in the Hunter Valley.

Upon returning to South Africa, I was appointed Winemaker at Onverwacht Wine Estate in the Western Cape, where I spent 2 years.

Upon immigrating to Australia in 1992, I made award winning wines at Capel Vale Wines and Wise Winery in the Margaret River Region of Western Australia until 1997.

The desire to produce my own wines, brought me to the Granite Belt in 1998. After a stint at Ballandean Estate, I formed my own contract wine making company, Ravens Croft Wines Pty Ltd.

I now produce the my own label, Ravens Croft Wines, while still making wine for my contractors.

RAVENS CROFT WINES is open friday to sunday from 10 am till 4.30pm. Other times or to enjoy the sunsets please phone

Our current number one seller is Eggplant Kassoundi - a spicy Indian style eggplant chutney.

The Bramble Patch is definitely a food lovers heaven! As well as our delicious gourmet products we serve a range of luscious berry desserts that can be enjoyed with an espresso coffee, either next to the roaring log fire during winter, or in our leafy, manicured gardens during the warmer months. Try a sensational Hot Waffle, house-made Blackberry & Apple Pies (during Winter), freshly prepared Poffertjes (mini Dutch pancakes), or our very own "Ice Burger" - a chocolate sponge filled with ice-cream and berry sorbet that is warmed and then smothered in our Bramble Patch berry coulis! The kids will also love to watch our famous ice-cream machine churn them out a yummy berry ice-cream while they wait! So, based on this, make sure you plan your visit to The Bramble Patch to coincide with morning or afternoon tea, or enjoy lunch at one of the wineries and finish off with dessert here.

We have great belief in the French concept of 'terroir', as the French say a 'sense of place where the grapes grow'... that sense of place is the micro-climate in the vineyard or even within a patch of grapes.

Temperature, humidity,sunlight,wind,rainfall,aspect and soil type... it is this combination of factors which is responsible for the wonderful flavour characteristics inherent in a particular patch of grapes. In a single vineyard situation those characters will change from year to year depending on the seasons.

Tobin Wine took great pain to select a site for our vineyard with north facing slope, granitic free draining soils in Ballandean, the heart of the Granite Belt. The best part of the last decade has been spent guiding the vines to maturity and ability to produce premium fruit quality.

Our Limited Edition wines reflect that 'sense of place' making them truly unique.

TWISTED GUM WINES - Taste the difference!

All our vines are dry grown (unirrigated) which means that the vines produce small amounts of fruit with incredible flavours.

All our vines are also hand pruned and hand harvested.

We then produce small batches of premium-quality, single-vineyard wines that impress both wine consumers and judges.

Our wines have won many awards (see below).
