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.
