Ballycroft was originally the name of the cheesery run by sisters Sue Evans and Tracey Skepper. The15 acre property is located in Greenock in the Barossa Valley. The vineyard was planted in 1998 and after the cheesery was established in 2003 the waste water from it was used to irrigate the vines. The whey was also used as fertilizer on the vineyard and vegetable patch and functioned as a fungicide for powdery mildew.
