Whiskey Gully Wines, at Severnlea, is in the heart of the Granite Belt region which has ideal climate and soils for premium wine grape production. It produces elegant and fruity full-bodied red wines and well balanced white wines in both aromatic and fruit driven styles. The vineyard was established on one of the district's oldest station properties - Beverley - which was first settled in 1880 and the historic homestead has a cellar door outlet, a restaurant and there are also award-winning accommodation cottages.
Our wines have won over 60 trophies and awards at National and State wine shows since first showing our wines in 2001. Our trophies have included Best Queensland Wine for our Chardonnay, Best Queensland Cabernet and Best Red Wine of Show for our Shiraz.
