A large-scale, 105-hectare vineyard in South Australia's renowned Langhorne Creek wine region has been listed for sale.
Alexandrina Vineyard was previously owned by BRL Hardy Ltd and has been set up to operate as a commercial vineyard.
Currently growing 100 per cent red wine varieties, 93 hectares of the land is planted to Shiraz, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Malbec, Petit Verdot and Sangiovese grapes.
Recent activity includes replanting 27.6 hectares in 2017/18 and planting 18.3 hectares in 2019, guaranteeing increased production in the coming years.
The sale of the 2021 crop can be negotiated, while the site has water licences amounting to 300 megalitres, including a 220ML River Murray licence.
The property is 11 kilometres south of Langhorne Creek, 12km north-east of Milang, 23km south-east of Strathalbyn and 72km south-east of the Adelaide CBD.
Improvements include a four-bedroom home, stone cottage, office, shedding, wash-down facilities and irrigation infrastructure.
A 95kW solar energy system provides the bulk of the property's electricity, and an additional 10kW system with a Tesla battery supplies the home, which is currently rented.
