Hidden Creek Winery

Hidden Creek Winery is situated in the beautiful rugged high altitude hills of Queensland’s Granite Belt at over metres above sea level (making it one of Australia's highest vineyards). The Granite Belt has warm summers & bitterly cold winters so this climate, together with the arid granite rocky soils, draws similar comparisons to high regions close to the Mediterranean such as north-eastern Spain, the inland south-west of France around Cahors and Gaillac, and the upper Rhone Valley in France. These regions have a tradition of unique characterful wines that are wonderful accompaniments to food and at Hidden Creek we have adopted the grape varieties and inspiration of these regions. The outcome of our vineyard site, climate and culture produces wines that taste unique to our region. The people of France call this “Terroir” but there may just be an Indigenous term for this concept to explain why a wine has a certain taste not just because of the variety and vineyard management but because of its place. When we find that term we will let you know! In the meantime, Hidden Creek is definately worth seeking for yourself.
