Located 20 minutes north of Port Douglas we make award winning wines from Tropical Fruits. No this does not mean they are sweet and sticky. They range from very dry wines to ports. We make single-fruit wines, not blends. We grow most of the fruits in the organic way and in our own orchard. The flavour of the fruit is retained in the wines unlike most grape wines where the flavour of the fruit is lost in the fermenting process. Tropical fruit wines are an ideal companion for foods.
