Sunshine Vineyard - Wine Country Drive, Rothbury
In 1998 Scarborough Wine Co. purchased an additional 100 acres of land. Formerly
part of the famous Lindemans Sunshine Vineyard, it is 10 km north-east of the
home vineyard. Scarborough has undertaken an extensive program of planting at
Sunshine Vineyard to support their Blue Label Chardonnay and White Label Semillon.
This property also provides the opportunity to experiment with new varieties.
Soil
The Sunshine Vineyard has sandy soils (hourglass fine and very deep in areas) that
are similar to the sandy creeks flats that produce the original and still famous
Hunter Valley Semillons and Chardonnays.
