Parndana SA 5220
The Islander Estate is located in the heart of Kangaroo Island north of Parndana on the gentle slopes of Kohinoor Hills. Kangaroo Island is the third largest island in Australia.
The idea of making wine on Kangaroo Island occurred to Jacques Lurton in 1997, when he visited the island on his honeymoon with his wife Frascoise. They fell in love with its natural beauty, saw few planted wines but recognised its considerable potential.
A modern 70 tonne winery respecting the classic Australian style has been erected on site. The equipment has mainly been brought from France with sorting tables to select the best of the grapes after destemming concrete open fermenters with temperature control for fermentation and large wooden vats for ageing.
Kangaroo Island offers near perfect growing conditions, including a cool, semi dry climate that allows slow ripening, significant factors in producing The Islander Estate Wines.
Islander Estate is open by appointment only.
