Gracebrook enjoys a long history as one of the premium farms on King Valley, owned and operated by the pioneering Jarrott family since settlement. A narrow gauge goods train that ran between Whitfield and Wangaratta from 1899 until 1952, stopped regularly at the Jarrott siding to stock up on the estate's produce. The site was acquired and developed by the Maples family into one of the King Valley's most bountiful vineyards. Some seventy five acres of vine were established including trials with the unique Albarino. The thick skinned grape makes refreshing, forward drinking wines with vigorous bouquets, it is considered to be an ancient relative of Riesling.
