History

The Ipswich District has a rich history in grape-growing and wine making during the 19th and 20th centuries. The district’s first wines made by Robert Le Grand are well recorded as being highly acclaimed in Europe in the 1890’s. Then the Dick family received many awards from France in the early 1900’s.

Estate Vineyards / AVA

Ironbark Ridge was established in 1984, no more than a kilometre from the original Dick Brother’s cellars and vineyard. It is the oldest established vineyard in this region. Ironbark Ridge currently has 6 acres under vine with plantings of Chardonnay, Shiraz and Grenache and also smaller parcels of Marsanne, Rousanne and Viognier. In addition there are also new plantings of Dolcetto, Verdelho and Nebioli. All the vines here at Ironbark Ridge were hand planted and are also hand picked.
