As a boutique winery, we pride ourselves on the quality and excellence of both our grape crop and the finished wine we produce. The fruit for our wines comes from our “Folly Run” vineyard near Bungendore, "Mallaluka" vineyard on Dog Trap Road near Yass and our new Brooks Creek Vineyard at Bywong.
Maipenrai a small vineyard and winery dedicated to making fine Pinot Noir without compromise. All Maipenrai wine is sourced from our close planted 1.1 hectare vineyard atop the Yass River Valley located in the Canberra District. Situated at an altitude of 760m above sea level, the vineyard's rocky soil and cold climate make our six clones of Pinot Noir struggle, but provide an intensity to our wines that can only be achieved in such harsh conditions.
We also produce wines under the Amungula Creek Label - these wines represent exceptional value for money, with fruit sourced from our own vineyard and from selected plots from within the Canberra District.
