Mt bera vineyards: a legacy reborn through nature
Organically crafted.
Organic Certified – Estate Vineyards & Small Batch Craft Wines
Mt Bera’s 157ha of lush hills and valley have evolved from an 1851 commercial orchard to the biodynamically grown vineyards of today. The 1990s marked the beginning of how the Horner family’s passion shaped Mt Bera’s identity, producing wines of elegance, purity and a true expression of its source.
Mt Bera Vineyards focuses on limited-production single vineyard and micro terrier productions of Pinot Noir, Cabernet Sauvignon, Shiraz, Merlot and Pinot Gris wines along with highly sought-after European varietals and blends of Blaufrankisch, Zweigelt, Mencia, Vermentino and Gruner Veltliner from the certified organic and biodynamically grown estate vineyards located in the Northern aspect of the Adelaide Hills, west of the historic township of Gumeracha.
