Vineyard

The Poachers Vineyard sits on granite hills that lie between Murrumbateman and Canberra, the heart of the Canberra Wine District.

The Grower

The Poachers Vineyard, managed by second-generation grower, William Bruce.

Will’s interest in farming and grape growing started as a child, spending hours in the vineyard with his dad, Rob over the spring and summer months.

Over the last decade, Will has worked alongside renowned local wine-makers and viticulturalists to ensure that the Poachers Vineyard is one of the best in the Canberra District, implementing organic practices and modern growing techniques to suit an ever changing climate.

About

The Poachers Vineyard is unique with two vineyard sites, with varying aspects and soils.

The Ahchow Hill site is north facing, making it perfect for growing our Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc and Sangiovese.

The Nanima Block faces east, allowing the Shiraz, Pinot Noir and Riesling grapes to bask in the light of the morning sun, while being protected from the western sun by the shade of the granite hills behind the vines.
