Robert Channon Wines Stanthorpe Granite Belt Qld Winery Café Concerts

The Singing Lake

The beautiful Singing Lake got its name back in 2001 when a well known champagne company tried to stop us from using our surname "Channon" for our new winery. "Singing Lake" was to be our back up name if the dispute went against us. Fortunately, it didn't.

We still use the Singing Lake name for our Café and on some of our wines.

You can enjoy the lovely view over the lake from the winery and the cafe.

Paola's the Winemaker's Kitchen at the Singing Lake Café

Sit peacefully and enjoy the food, the wine and the fabulous view.

Never happier than at vintage, working the pinot noir 2016 by hand and foot.

"The Verdelho!"

"They are by far the best Verdelhos I have ever tasted"James Halliday 2003

"Robert Channon Wines, arguably Australia's foremost producer of Verdelho" James Halliday 2009

"..Takes the verdelho to another level of intensity altogether" James Halliday 2013

The Receptionist

JS Bark is in charge of meeting and greeting.

Robert Channon Wines- Champion Chardonnay and Sparkling Chardonnay.

We are one of the few small wineries in Australia to have won a national trophy at a national show for a champion wine.

This is effectively a 'Best in Australia' award. We did it for the first time with our Reserve Chardonnay 2002 which won the Trophy for the Best Chardonnay in the Royal Brisbane Show 2004 and then again with our Sparkling Chardonnay 2008 which won the Trophy for the Champion Sparkling Wine in the Australian Small Winemakers Show in 2010. Our Sparkling Chardonnay 2012 has just won its first Gold Medal - at the 2015 Cairns Wine Show.

Our Winery is for Sale

We have put our winery up for sale so that we can retire some time in the next few years and the right person can take over from us - with the advantage of our reputation for growing Australia's best Verdelho. Details are below if you are interested.

In the meantime, it is wine making, concert giving and making friends in wine as usual. 2018 has been a cracker of a vintage so you can look forward to some great wines coming out. Paola's Cafe is humming with her Spanish/ Argentinian menu and we are just planning our 2019 concert series.

We are offering either the whole 320 acre property for sale or alternatively just the vineyard and winery business for sale on its own title.

For information call us on 07 4683 3260.
