Winemaking commenced in a small shed the size of a double garage (48 square metres) in 2008 but this rapidly proved to be inadequate. The current winery was built in 2009 in time for the 2010 vintage. It was built to process 25-30 tonnes per annum but has been used for larger quantities. It is 180 square metres enclosed (and fully insulated) plus a 45 square metre awning to the north. It sits on a concrete slab with drainage in the centre. It is airconditioned and has 10 amp, 15 amp and 3-phase power. There is also a machinery/tool shed of 81 sqm that houses the two tractors and other machinery.
