1Out and About the Vines, Vineyard, Wine

Winter is upon us, and it's pruning time at Jester Hill Wines! As the vines rest, we prepare them for a prosperous season ahead. Pruning is essential to ensure the health and quality of our grapes, which means better wines for you to enjoy. Why Does Pruning Matter? Healthier Vines: Removing old growth helps prevent disease and pest issues. Better Quality Grapes: Pruning ensures the vines concentrate their energy on producing the best fruit. Optimized Growth: Properly pruned vines result in more consistent and manageable growth patterns. How Do We Prune Our Vines? Our skilled team carefully trims each vine, removing excess shoots and dead wood. This meticulous process sets the stage for a

From a motorcycle ride in 2010 to the prestigious Samuel Bassett Award in 2022. We, Mick and Ann Bourke, set off for the Granite Belt on our motorcycles in March 2010. Little did we realise that 9 months later we would be the proud owners of Jester Hill Wines. Established in 1993 with the first plantings, Jester Hill Wines strives to ensure the unique Mediterranean-like climate and the savoury characteristics of the Granite Belt region is represented in every bottle.  From the early years we have been blessed to have three of our children actively working in and supporting the business. Shannon, the youngest of the crew moved with us at the

What exactly is Véraison? Véraison is a French term referring to the colour change that happens as a grape is ripening and signifies the change from berry growth to berry ripening in grapevines. At véraison the berries become soft and take on the colours characteristic of their specific variety.  But there’s more to véraison than just the grapes changing colour. Another characteristic we use to measure whether or not the process is complete is berry hardness. Up until now, the berries are very firm. Once they get through véraison, the berries are pliable and can be deformed when squeezed between the thumb and index finger. This elasticity is one of the only

A wine that is memorable has made its mark. As with an unforgettable human being, a feature or a personality facet is the trigger for the rest of the character to reveal itself. If you want to remember wines, you will. If it is important to you to recall wines, you will do so. Once the habit starts, it’s irreversible.

The Granite Belt region has a growing reputation as one of Australia’s top producers of alternative variety wines – known here as Strange Birds. To be called an alternative, a variety must represent not more than 1% of the total bearing vines in Australia as defined by Wine Australia.

Certainly, each bottle has
