Winemaker, Nyall Condon has an exceptional history of excellence in all aspects of vineyard establishment, winery installation and wine making in South Australia and Victoria.

Nyall’s approach to winemaking is very much about minimal intervention and retaining the natural characters of each varietal, where the fruit is the hero. The impressive stable features cool climate standouts and includes blanc de blanc, sparkling shiraz, “Frizzante” (moscato spritz), pinot grigio, sauvignon blanc, riesling, chardonnay, rosé, pinot noir and shiraz. Look out for the unique P2, a fifty percent blend of pinot grigio and pinot noir. A true chameleon which drinks beautifully either ambient or chilled, this limited release wine sings of strawberries, rose water and cherries with a citrus minerality drive.

Jack Rabbit Vineyard is open seven days per week for brunch and lunch, guided tastings and cellar door sales, from 10am – 5pm. The vineyard is also open Friday and Saturday nights for dinner, inviting every traveller to indulge.
