Description

'A rare opportunity is available to purchase an established vineyard and well known wine brand and all the hard work has been done. This wine brand has been widely recognized by some of the best in the industry including James Halliday, Ralph Kyte-Powell and Jeremy Oliver who has been quoted as saying it's one of 5 or 6 sites in Australia with the potential to make Sauvignon Blanc that can rival the best from Marlborough in New Zealand! The accolades are many and can be viewed on this link www.cannibalcreek.com.au. There are 5 hectares of established and professionally maintained vineyard (est. 1997) with drip irrigation. Complete plant and equipment, everything you need is here to maintain the vineyard and winery. Brand recognition, great local reputation, high profile wholesale customers supported by wholesaler, on-going export avenues with high quality website and database with secure ordering all included. Standing on its own two feet - a rarity among boutique wine businesses and this one is steadily growing with no off farm income and plenty of room to expand the vineyard! Surrounded by the rolling pastures of West Gippsland intermingled with creeks and tracts of native hardwood it's hard to believe it's only 45 min from Melbourne CBD in one of Australia's fastest growing growth corridors and only 2.6 kms off the recently opened freeway link. This winery business does have huge potential for development. In addition to the vineyard the property has 23 hectares of cleared undulating country (with sealed road frontage and mains water). Set amongst mature gardens and beautiful shade trees discover a charming, renovated and lovingly maintained, turn of the last century weatherboard residence. Adjacent is the cellar door, a rustic pastoral type corrugated iron and timber building which houses the tasting area and winery. Take advantage of the work and cost of establishment already being done for you, and enjoy the life style.
