The Estate
Located on the northern slopes of Keynes Hill in the Eden Valley wine region, the estate is home to the grapes and olives we grow for our Max & Me estate wines and olive oil.
Boongarrie Estate
Boongarrie Estate is situated in the wild, rugged landscape of the Eastern Barossa Ranges. With shallow soils and limited water, vineyard blocks are carefully positioned to avoid inarable land. The raw beauty of the estate presents unique challenges and requires us to pay careful attention to the availability of water for the vines during the growing season.
Adversity imparts our vines with character, resulting in aromatic, soulful and expressive wines. A natural finesse and liveliness develops in the midst of these harsh conditions – a elegant counterpoint the bold wines that Barossa is typically known for. Each vintage is a clear expression of site and the season. Each wine tells a story unique story of how we care for the land.

Treading lightly
It's a great responsibility to steward the land at Boongarrie Estate – one which we embrace with a measure of thoughtfulness, care and hard work. We strive to minimise our impact on the soil and organisms who play a vital role in maintaining a healthy ecosystem. We tread lightly to ensure that future generations can continue to enjoy the natural beauty of our estate while producing wines that reflect the unique character of our landscape.
Fresh from the vines to the olive groves
The estate is blessed with a beautiful olive grove composed of Manzanillo trees, with some Pendolino and Kalamata. The olives ripen about a month after harvest ends – a delightful way to finish the season.
Known for its spicy and fruity oil, Manzanillo is an excellent olive for salad leaves, ripe tomatoes, and sourdough bread.
