Boston Bay Vineyard, The Peninsulas
Boston Bay’s estate vineyard – nine hectares of riesling, merlot, sauvignon blanc, shiraz and cabernet sauvignon vines grown on calcareous loams over limestone soils just outside of South Australia’s Port Lincoln – is a quiet trailblazer. It was the first vineyard planted on the Eyre Peninsula, and therefore was instrumental in the creation of the official geographical indication The Peninsulas. It’s also one of the most coastal vineyards in Australia, situated just forty-five metres from the Southern Ocean. That proximity to the sea profoundly shapes the grapes grown here, keeping fruit cool throughout the growing season and concentrating flavours.
