The water flow at the head has not been measured, however would still be significant. <br/><br/>The bore pumps to a header dam located at the top of the property and is gravity fed down to an above ground pump (Southern Cross MFA09A-F 50 x 32-200) situated next to the bore. The water passes through a Netafin media filter, immediately after the pump, before distribution to the vineyard. Distribution is controlled by an automatic Irritrol Total control irrigation system. The bore is also controlled by a Irritrol Total controller. Both controllers automatically irrigate 8 subsections according to selected programmes. <br/><br/>The Vendor has advanced work orders with a heavy duty plastic company (Poly Dem) to schedule the lining of the dam (likely to be completed in September). An earth mover will also be organised to clean and prepare the dam. Whilst this is being done a new 80mm class 12 p.v.c pipe will be placed through the wall of the dam, as part of the irrigation feed.<br/><br/>The vineyard is contracted to supply grapes to Treasury Wine Estates until and including the 2026 vintage. The contract offers a base price of $1200 per tonne for Chardonnay and $1400 for Pinot plus bonuses dependent on quality. However, there was a small parcel last vintage of what is referred to as "C" grade whereby $1850 per tonne was paid. Future vintages may well shift to $2,200 per tonne. When the vineyard reaches full maturity the yield estimate is 5 tonnes/acre or 14 tonnes per Ha. All information will need to be qualified by Purchasers as this is information of a general nature.<br/><br/>The Adelaide Hills region is globally recognised for its cool climate quality wines. Furthermore, the Adelaide Hills is a favoured destination, with its many cellar doors, wineries and restaurants, just 35-40 minutes from Adelaide - part of the flourishing tourism market, with growth anticipated to double in the next 10 years.<br/>
