Blank OUR PLACESummit combines a fully operating vineyard, winery, coffee shop and cellar door in a location alive with breathtaking views and natural scenery at the summit of the Granite Belt region.OUR HISTORY A group of families with a passion for wines, purchased the 20-acre property at Thulimbah just north of Stanthorpe in 1997. They chose Queenslands oldest, cool climate wine region to pursue their vision of not only producing premium wines, but also sharing the wine lifestyle experience with winery visitors. Today the group of enthusiasts that form part of summit family have grown as has the quality of the wine. For the future we hope to involve you in our selection of friends that share our good wines, and our events and to anyone that drinks our wines in those special moments of life. VINEYARD In late 1997, two acres of vineyard was established including Shiraz, Zinfandel, Malbec, Merlot, Pinot Noir and Granache. This was a trial plot to determine which particular grape varieties were most suitable to the microclimate of the vineyard. In November 2000, a further five acres were planted, including Verdelho, Cabernet Sauvignon, Petit Verdot, Merlot, Shiraz and Tempranillo.A further 3 acres was planted during 2003 at our Summit Estate Vineyards, mainly Chardonnay, with a little more Pinot Noir, Cabernet and Tempranillo. In 2006 we planted Monastrel ( Southern Spain name for Mataro) and Viognier and finally in 2007 we planted Marsanne, Malbec and Muscat of Alexandria WINERY Our winery is a 50 tonne winery located in South East Queensland’s Granite Belt region. Our philosophy is to produce European style wines and Queensland’s finest red wines. In 2005 a state of the art winery was built. We carefully look after the wines that we gently move by gravity throughout the wine making process.
