Boutique wineries are completely focused on quality as opposed to quantity. Smaller production facilities and small-scale output allow boutique wineries to monitor and control various minute aspects of wine making that larger wineries simply cannot. The end result is wines that are highly specialised and filled with unique characteristics. Boutique wineries are also a great place to visit to learn about wine-making and wine-culture. These types of wineries often have accommodation options as well package tours on offer whereby guests can come and experience the winery and all of its processes on a first-hand basis.
Shaw Vineyard Estate was set up in 1998 on "Olleyville", a seven hundred acre fine wool producing property established in the mid 1800's. This historic property is located in Murrumbateman along the Barton Highway between Canberra and Yass. Shaw Vineyard Estate is a family owned and operated business, with the vineyard being developed under a community title investment and subscribed to by outside growers with the Shaw family holding the majority of the community lots. The property's elevation at around 640 metres above sea level is higher than most other vineyards in the Murrumbateman area. The high elevation and sloping profile of the land helps mitigate against potential frost damage by allowing good air drainage over the property. The property has approximately 85 acres under vines, varieties of which are Riesling, Semillon, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Shiraz. Wines produced from Shaw Vineyard Estate grapes have already won 7 Trophies and several Gold, Silver and Bronze throughout various wine shows across Australia and Internationally. The Canberra region is especially renowned for its Riesling, and Cabernet Sauvignon.
