Lyra is located in Queensland's Granite Belt, high upon the Great Dividing Range, where altitude, cool nights and subtropical climate create ideal conditions for producing wines of freshness, structure and natural acidity. Planted on ancient, decomposed granite soils that were formed over 250 million years ago, the vineyard expresses a distinctive mineral character.

​

We focus on small, expressive parcels of fruit that reflect the individuality of each variety and season, creating wines that are deeply connected to the place in which they are grown. We've planted Mediterranean varieties including Fiano, Glera, Verdejo, Verdicchio, Montepulciano, Aglianico and Lagrein.

​

Our philosophy behind the vineyard is grounded in regenerative agriculture, with an emphasis on soil health, biodiversity, compost-based nutrition, reduced chemical inputs and long-term environmental resilience. Every decision is made with the intent to produce good wine today, but also improve the land for future generations.

 

Once harvested, fruit is handled with reverence. We use an elevator, low-shear pumps and a pneumatic press to process it without damage. Once fermentation begins, careful temperature control is achieved via centralised glycol cooling. Whether the wine needs minimal intervention or more of a guiding hand, whether it ages in the cellar for more years than a good dog's life or goes straight in the glass as something wild and vibrant, we hope to bring out its best.

 

Each bottle tells a complex story of the farm itself. The granite soils, the climate, the changing seasons and the people who work among the vines. But in the end, our goal here is simple - to make something you want to drink again and again.
