About Jeir Creek Wines

Jeir Creek is a 40-acre estate winery situated in the Canberra District. The property boasts approximately 8 acres of vineyards, with a further 9 acres currently being rehabilitated for planting in late 2022. In addition to the vineyards, there is a working winery on site, along with a cellar door. The history of the Jeir Creek brand dates back to 1984, when the first vines were planted, and the original part of the winery was established. In early 2021, the Pandey family purchased the property with the aim of rehabilitating it after falling in love with the site in late 2020. Their mission is to place the winery back on the map as a central part of the Canberra wine district. Quality wine and produce are what drives the winery and vineyard, and the Pandey family is committed to capturing all the elements involved in creating great wine, from the vine growing cycle to the winemaking process. Sustainability is a key focus for Jeir Creek. The team is working to build an ecosystem and microclimate that suits the growing season, and the rehabilitation and replanting of vines are of utmost importance. The team is selecting varieties that are suitable for the growing conditions, with a focus on the next 30 years. It is a real commitment of time and patience in the vineyard that cannot be won overnight. The purchase of the site was something that evolved as the Pandey family spent more time looking at the opportunity. They started to understand the importance of wine and winemaking in the area, and despite it not being part of their background, they wanted to be a part of it and learn the processes along the way. The winemaking style at Jeir Creek is based on the care and nurturing of the vineyard. The team takes a contemporary but minimalist approach, with minimal additions added to the wine. The wine is carried on its journey from where it began in the vines. Jeir Creek offers visitors the chance to sample some of the finest wines in the Canberra District. The cella
