The History
Mount England Estate was located in the foothills of the Fernvale Township in the picturesque Brisbane Valley adjacent to Lake Wivenhoe Dam.
The vineyard and winery was named after Mount England, a local landmark which shadowed the Vineyard and Winery.
The Estate operated for nearly 22 years producing an array of Red Wines and Fortified, the most popular being the Rummy Port.
Mount England Estate was a boutique winery that produced no more than 2000 bottles per brand and/wine type.
All of the grapes for each batch were meticulously selected by the winemaker from the best available in the local South East Queensland grape growing areas.
In the wine making process, little machinery was used, the wine being make by traditional hand processes where possible. The grape’s being pressed in a manually operated basket press. Fermentation and aging was in hand scraped oak barrels, followed by gravity filled bottled and hand labelling.
Our Wines
Rummy Port Vat 20
“Rum, the Spirit of Queensland. Port, the Vintage of Mount England Estate”
The Spirit of a Distillery was combined with the finest vintages, maturing these to create a ‘one off’ Limited Release Port, rich with the aromas and flavours imparted from an eighty year old rum vat recovered from a long forgotten Beenleigh distillery.
The Rummy Port Vat 20 impairs a concentrated rancio and wood on the nose, this continues to the palate showing an intense rich caramel molasses flavour that finishes with a smooth sweet harmonising spirit.
