Imagine being able to immerse yourself in the world-renowned Barossa Valley on a property boasting premium quality vineyards and a beautifully renovated character 1920s bungalow all just an easy, uninterrupted one hour drive from the heart of the CBD welcome to the spectacular Moppa Hills Vineyard.
Offering a stunning 15-hectare vineyard property with picture-perfect views surrounding the renovated 3 bedroom 1920's bungalow, used as both a home and a cellar door, the idyllic location sits just minutes from Nuriootpa township on the easterly facing slopes of Moppa Hills.
Successfully operated as 'Moppa Hills Vineyard,' grapes are sold to local winemakers and the family's own wines have also been produced from 11.4ha of 40-year-old Shiraz, 1.6 ha of 70-year-old Semillon, 1.6 ha of Mataro and 0.4 ha of Grenache. 14 Megalitres of BIL water (8 Premium, 6 Off-Peak) irrigates the vineyard, while a substantial dam has the capacity to hold approximately 30 Megalitres. The dam has also been recently re-equipped with a new 3 phase submersible pump, complete with a fully automatic filtration system.
The soils in this locality are known to produce some of the finest reds in the Barossa and Moppa Hills Vineyard has produced several award-winning wines from the well maintained vineyards.
