Boutique Wines :: Bream Creek Vineyard
Bream Creek Vineyard is planted on a north-east ridge above Marion
Bay on the edge of the Tasman Sea. This gently sloping site, coastal
location and maritime influence, result in growing conditions that are
characterised by long mild seasons to create premium fruit quality. The
vineyard enjoys a cool frost free spring, long sunny summer days with
sea breezes and an extended autumn ripening period. Surrounded by
neighbouring forest and windbreaks, the vineyard is nicely sheltered
from strong and cold winds producing crisp cool climate wines.
Soils are deep and range from brown to black clay loams with a little
small stone on the higher ground. Particular attention has been made to
match varieties to the different range of soil types within the vineyard
to produce premium boutique wines. The site features a large dam which
is used sparingly for trickle irrigation.
