The Padthaway Braithwaite Estate

In the early 1960s, before the rest of the wine-drinking world discovered Australia's winemaking capabilities, a small committee of Viticulturalists from the Seppelts winery visited the Padthaway region in search of new land for premium grape production. Around the same time, the Lindeman Group explored the region and established the first serious vineyard in Padthaway.

Since these humble beginnings, the Padthaway region has established an international reputation for producing of premium quality cool climate grapes. Today, the Padthaway region boasts a world-class winery, 'Stonehaven' (BRL Hardy) and in excess of 3,000 hectares under-vine. Increasingly, Padthaway wine vintages are destined for international markets where they are recognised with awards and drinker loyalty.

The attraction of Padthaway has always been its potential to produce premium quality grapes on a large scale. Its proximity near the world famous 'Coonawarra' Region, along with the similarity of soils and climate, enhances its potential. With only around 20 growers and a finite availability of irrigation water, viticultural expansion in this rich area has all but ceased.

Australasian Agribusiness Services Pty Ltd is delighted to be able to offer serious investors an opportunity to participate in The Padthaway Braithwaite Estate, a high quality viticultural development opportunity. The Padthaway Braithwaite Estate viticultural development provides an intending Grower with an exciting opportunity to share in the lucrative rewards of viticultural investment in a region that has a world-class reputation.

The land is situated off the Riddoch Highway, approximately 5 km north of Padthaway and 52 km north of the regional centre of Naracoorte. This general region is well known as the Limestone Coast viticultural region, and includes the world famous Coonawarra Region.

The Padthaway Braithwaite Estate offers investors secure water rights and a community title freehold land interest. When fully developed there will be a 57.6-hectares premium quality cool climate Vineyard in the Padthaway region of South Australia. The development will planted in approximately equal proportions of Chardonnay, Cabernet Sauvignon, Shiraz and Merlot grape varieties.
