Goundrey Wines • Western Australia
Description
The Goundrey story captures a delightful slice of Mount Barker’s pioneering and viticultural history.
Established in the Great Southern region of Mount Barker, the Goundrey vineyards were planted in the early 1970's when the area was initially recognised for its viticultural potential. The infectious enthusiasm of the late West Australian wine identity, Jack Mann, encouraged a small number of farmers to diversify into grape growing, and pioneer the region.
Amongst Goundrey's original Mount Barker vineyards were 2 hectares of Riesling and Cabernet Sauvignon, planted by the Goundrey family in 1971 at the original property then named “Windy Hill”.
Following the success of this 'hobby' sized development, further vines were planted at Windy Hill and in 1976 the first vintage was produced by Michael Goundrey in a modest garage shed, using very basic and borrowed equipment.
