Since 1892 the Great Western wineworks have been home to our nation's most enduring sparkling wine. Great Western has established an enviable reputation for its universal appeal, consistency of quality and style. Components of exotic grape varietals, including the torrid Tarrango, the affable Colombard, fruity Grenache and the very French Chenin Blanc, have been harmoniously assembled into an immensely satisfying
Cuvee, a wine of beautifully integrated flavours, alluring bouquets and exquisite length.
Great Western is fashioned from the choicest parcels of fruit, harvested off vineyards across the nation's leading viticultural precincts. Great Western have been crafting effervescent wines for well over a century, originally drawing on vineyards planted at the end of the western districts gold mining boom. The modern day Great Western wineworks have evolved into a hub of regional winemaking activity. The sprawling estate plays host to many cultural events throughout the year, the Great Western Vintage Racing Carnival, Grampians Four Vintage Harvest Exhibition and Great Western Rodeo. The finished wines are matured on yeast lees for several months under the historic, naturally temperature controlled cellars.
