About Mason Wines boutique winery
Mason Wines vineyard is situated in the Granite Belt winery region that
surrounds Stanthorpe in Queensland. Mason Wines team is dedicated to
producing a wine of which Queensland can be proud. Our aim is to develop
quality wines with distinct regional characteristics.
In 1997 the we began our search for land in South East Queensland's Granite
Belt on which to establish a vineyard. We only looked at land which had a
long history of commercial stone fruit production and was known to be well
drained with deep soil.
We selected a stone fruit farm in Rees Road, Ballandean which we believed
would be ideal for a vineyard. In 1998 we set about removing the stone
fruit trees and establishing vines. We planted the best grafted vines
available. In 2000 we bought a second stone fruit farm, situated on the
corner of Booth Lane and the New England Highway, for conversion to a
vineyard.
A cliché in the industry, it is none the less true that great wine is only
made from great fruit. We are fastidious in producing great fruit and
equally fastidious in all aspects of wine production.
