About Us
One of the great literary themes is the personal voyage of discovery and the joy that can be derived from casting off notional shackles and embracing new experiences. We invite you to ‘Open Up’ to Sirromet. Recently recognised as a 5-star winery by James Halliday, we are proud to have collected over 700 prestigious national and international wine awards since opening in 2000.
For most of us, letting a wine ‘Open Up’ means allowing it to breathe and release its often complex flavours and aroma. Since quality wines begin on the vine, Sirromet attributes the flavour and quality of our wines to the exceptional fruit grown in our Granite Belt vineyards. With 100 hectares under vine, Sirrromet’s vineyards are located in the high altitude of Queensland’s renown Granite Belt region.
Situated at picturesque Mount Cotton, just a short drive from Brisbane and the Gold Coast, Sirromet’s state of the art facilities offer food and wine lovers the ultimate winery experience - combining production, cellar door and 5 star restaurant, alive with unique architecture and breathtaking scenery. A visit to Sirromet is a promise of new adventures, new friendships and wonderful new discoveries.
There’s nothing more boring than being stuck in your ways. If you’re open to trying new things, Sirromet won’t disappoint. In fact, it will delight. And so will the memories you create when you ‘open up’ with Sirromet.
History
While on a visit to Victoria, Queensland entrepreneur and businessman, Terry Morris attended a dinner party with some of his friends. Terry mentioned that he had tried a great wine from Queensland’s Granite Belt to which his Victorian friends laughed and said “There’s no such thing as a great wine from Queensland.” This was the spark that Terry needed to create his vision for Sirromet.
Terry chose land in the Granite Belt Region renowned for its unique combination of rich soil, high altitude and cool climate, providing the perfect location for growing grapes. Utilising both traditional methods and new technology, Sirromet produces exquisite quality wines recognised on the world stage.
Our Vineyards
Since quality wines begin on the vine, Sirromet attributes the flavour and quality of our wines to the exceptional fruit grown in our Granite Belt vineyards.

Situated 600-1500 metres above sea level and approximately three hours drive south west of Brisbane, “The Granite Belt is one of the most exciting wine destinations in the country” Max Allen, The Weekend Australian.
The area is unique in Australia for its combination of high altitude, cool weather and decomposed granite soils and is known for varietals including Chardonnay, Cabernet Sauvignon, Shiraz and Merlot however in recent times have enjoyed success with different, lesser known varietals including Viognier.

Winemaking Comments: This wine style is created thru the experience of understanding our vineyards native flora over time. Utilising specific block of Shiraz to create a feminate style elegant Shiraz with touches of Viognier in a seamless manner seems to have paid off. Using only wild yeast creates that extra dimension and style in small batch winemaking, enjoy
