Welcome to Back Pocket
Back Pocket is a small vineyard on Back Creek in the foothills of Severnlea, in the Granite Belt wine region.
Our wines are made solely from Back Pocket grapes so each vintage truly reflects the season in our small vineyard.
Back Pocket History — Past & Present
Back Pocket has a long horticultural history. Subdivided in 1927, the property has grown apples, pears, plums, peaches, table grapes, and wine grapes.
Of the fruit, only wine grapes remain today. And having supplied grapes for a number of Queensland wineries, Back Pocket now produces its own selection of distinctive cool climate wines.
Back Pocket is also believed to be home to Australia's largest plantation of Italian Stone Pines (158 pinus pinea). Planted in October 2001 these trees will eventually yield our first locally grown, organic pine nuts.
Granite Belt Wine Region
Queensland's oldest wine region extends for 50km north of the NSW border and is part of the magnificent granite landscapes of the Great Dividing Range which encompass the National Parks of Girraween, Sundown, and Bald Rock.
With altitudes between 700-1000 metres above sea level, the cool climate and decomposed granite soils ensure the region produces some of Australia's best new wines.
