Introducing Mt Monster – - – The Rock’s little brother….
The Bryson Brothers have once again outdone themselves in the quality stakes with their new range of wines. Mt Monster wines are impressive stuff in their own right; they do not need to hide in the Shadow of their big brother the Jip Jip Rocks
At Mt. Monster, it is their sole objective to produce the best wines possible from the unique vineyard site. Located in the Padthaway valley which is comprised of rich Terra Rosa soils our estate vineyard benefits from excellent sun exposure producing grapes of optimum flavour, colour and tannin development.
The plains of Padthaway produce wines of consistent quality and style. Although famously known as ‘Chardonnay country’, the region produces excellent examples of Shiraz and Cabernet Sauvignon from old vine material.
The gently undulating country of Padthaway is neighbour to the famous Coonawarra. It has climatic similarities and a good slice of terra rossa, the famed soil of the Limestone Coast. The success of Coonawarra led viticulturalists to seek out similar ground. Back in 1944 the CSIRO had recommended the region for horticulture due to its rich soil and underground water supply. The climate is coined “Maritime” with coastal influences. The vineyards here produce fruit for red and white and sparkling wine.
