Elephant Hill Estate and Winery

Part of a $40,000,000 development, the Winery and Viticulture Buildings house facilities for the processing of 400 tonnes of grapes. The Viticulture Building (500m2) consists of a machinery garage, workshop, chemical store, electrical switchboard room, water distribution room, office, staffroom and toilets and is used by the Viticulture team to look after the 25 hectares of grapes.

The Winery Building (2000m2) is divided into three parts:

Storage: Consisting of Plant Room, six temperature controlled cells for the storage of fruit and wine, and a separate tank room for the processing of boutique wines.

Process: This area consists of a Tank Room with room for up to 60 wine tanks, and the 600m2 underground basement for storage of second year barrels.

Retail/Office: This end of the building is three levels. On the first floor is the office space and laboratory, the ground floor houses a restaurant and the basement holds an observation room for private functions that looks into the second year barrel store.

Both buildings are similar construction: precast concrete wall panels to 2.4m, structural steel structure, and timber framed metal clad walls and roof.
