Established in the Great Southern region of Mount Barker, the Goundrey vineyards were planted in the early seventies when the area was initially recognised for its viticultural potential. The infectious enthusiasm of the late West Australian wine identity, Jack Mann, encouraged a small number of farmers to diversify into grape growing, and to pioneer the region. There are three Goundrey vineyards established throughout the Mount Barker region, the flagship Langton property, Windy Hill/Chapel Hill and Fox River. These vineyards are meticulously managed and cared for by a dedicated team of viticulturists who work closely to ensure only the highest fruit quality makes the grade for Goundrey Wines. Approx 13%
