Both the winery and the vineyards are situated high on the hill with panoramic views of Tamborine Mountain. Terroir is the French term for that magical combination of the right soil and weather conditions so essential to producing good wine grapes. At Albert River Wines, well-drained river loam above a sandstone base combined with cool mountain breezes and long, sunny days provide an ideal micro-climate in which the specially-selected grape varieties flourish.
