Mount Majura Vineyard sits in the red clay-loam soils of Majura Valley, just 15 minutes from Canberra, making it the closest winery to the city in the Canberra District. A member of Sustainable Winegrowing Australia, the estate is known as a national leader for Tempranillo and also crafts excellent Riesling and Shiraz, as well as lesser-known varieties including Graciano and Mondeuse. Every wine is handmade from vine to bottle — sheep graze the rows in winter to reduce tractor passes — with seated cellar door tastings (including a small plate) available by booking or walk-in.
Mount Majura is a member of Sustainable Winegrowing Australia, meaning it follows verified sustainable practices including reduced chemical inputs and integrated pest management. It is not currently certified organic or biodynamic, but the team takes a holistic, low-intervention approach in the vineyard — including grazing sheep to cut grass and reduce diesel use.
The vineyard produces Tempranillo (a Canberra District standout), Riesling, Shiraz, Sparkling, and experimental varieties such as Graciano and Mondeuse — all grown on the estate's ancient red clay and limestone soils.
