Overview
Established Boutique Vineyard with Proven Performance & Income Potential
Unavale Vineyard presents a rare and compelling agricultural investment, combining established cool climate wine production, purpose built cellar door facilities, and integrated residential accommodation. Situated on Flinders Island, this property offers scale, proven performance, and clear pathways for future growth.
Set across 16.77 hectares, the holding includes 1.88 hectares of established vines with a diversified mix of premium varieties: Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Cabernet Sauvignon, Sauvignon Blanc and Riesling. The vineyard has produced award winning wines in previous years, underscoring both the quality of the site and the strength of the brand-key fundamentals for ongoing and scalable returns.
A notable feature of the property is its approx. 450 metres of frontage to Crown Reserve along the Samphire River, enhancing both the aesthetic appeal and long term amenity value of the holding. This natural boundary contributes to the sense of privacy, environmental quality and potential for future agritourism experiences.
Additional land has been deep ripped and prepared for further planting, complemented by established native windbreaks. The vineyard boundary is secured with wallaby proof fencing, supporting efficient vineyard management and reduced crop loss.
Production & Site Advantages
Positioned beneath the lee of Mt Strzelecki, the vineyard benefits from a naturally sheltered microclimate that supports consistent yields and high quality fruit. Flinders Island's cool climate conditions promote excellent acid retention and flavour development, enhancing suitability for premium wine production.
The property features a mix of viticulture friendly soils-dark brown loams, Bootjack clay, buckshot gravel and ironstone-with a pH range of 5.0 to 6.5, providing versatility across varietals and vintages.
Operational efficiency is supported by:
• Vertical Shoot Positioning (VSP) trellis system
• Drip irrigation supplied by a reliable deep bore
• Established native windbreaks reducing climatic risk and vine stress
Infrastructure Supporting Immediate Operation
Purpose built infrastructure enables seamless continuation of vineyard operations with minimal additional capital investment. Key improvements include:
• Winery / Cellar Door Complex (3 phase power) - ideal for value adding, direct to consumer sales, tastings and tourism
• Implement Shed
• Chemical Storage Shed
• Pump Shed
The existing cellar door provides a strong platform for brand expansion, on site sales and agritourism-an increasingly important revenue driver for boutique producers.
To an interested purchaser there is an option to purchase on site cellar door chattels.
Residential & Business Integration
A substantial 5 bedroom residence with 2 bathrooms and multiple living areas is positioned on the property, offering flexibility for:
- Owner/operator living
- Vineyard manager accommodation
- Dual income strategies (residential + business)
This integration supports hands-on management, reduces operating costs and enhances staff retention.
Investment Rationale
• Established vines with proven historical performance
• Award-winning provenance enhancing brand value and market positioning
• Significant infrastructure already in place-low start-up risk
• Boutique scale suited to premium, high-margin production
• Strong alignment with Tasmania's expanding wine and agritourism sectors
This is a rare opportunity to secure a turnkey vineyard asset with established capability, strong foundations and multiple avenues for income growth-whether through wine production, cellar door expansion or tourism integration.
