| DESCRIPTION: Organic / Biodynamic certification means we have profitable on going sales agreements for all our grapes. This vineyard is one of the most picturesque in the district with commanding views over Mudgee. It is only 7Km from town with bitumen to the front gate. Mt Frome Vineyard 32.78Ha (81 acres) Improvements Home – is 400²M brick and hardiplank constructed in 1991, with substantial additions in 1997. the original dwelling with 9ft ceilings is 3Brm, 1Bth, Lndry, Lvng, Kitch/Dine. Additions - Parents retreat/Brm with Enswt, Spa, walk in Wdbe and much more, Large Lnge Rm , extensive decking and a large cellar. Shedding – There are two large machinery sheds on the property. One (at the house) 9mX6m with one lockable section 3mX6m with concrete floor. The second (below the dam) 18mX6m with a full concrete floor and a lockable workshop 6mX6m. Near the larger shed is a 3mX2m bunded chemical shed with overhead tank for filling sprayers. Water Mt Frome’s water supply is a highlight of the property. There is a Bore with a licence for 117 million litres per annum. The bore will run constantly at 6.25l/sec (my estimate drillers report says 15l/sec) and when used in conjunction with the dam pumps can deliver 20l/sec to the vineyard. This means that if required the irrigation can deliver nearly 150l to every vine on the property in 2 days. There is also a 25 million litre catchment /bore filled dam, that is fully licensed for irrigation The bore water quality is excellent with salt levels below 300ppm. The property has a small freehold river frontage for access to irrigation, from the river (if ever required) and to the bore. The vineyard is approximately 20Ha (including headlands, subject to survey). The vineyard is well managed and approximate areas are as follows. Variety / Planting Year / Hectares Chardonnay 1990/1994 6.5Ha Shiraz 1994 7Ha Cabernet Sauvignon 1993/1994 6Ha Due to current sales agreement we prune and thin aiming for 8t/Ha Due to the altitude and air drainage, Mt Frome Vineyard is one of the most frost protected vineyards in the district. It is virtually frost free during the growing season. No economic losses have ever occurred due to frost. Hazelnuts In addition to the vineyard, Mt Frome Estate has a small commercial Hazelnut nursery. The original plan was to establish a 5Ha hazelnut plantation on some of the unused land at Mt Frome Estate. But there has been unsolicited interest from other growers in buying trees that we have decided to continue with the nursery. Expecting to produce 15,000 trees per year. |
