Vigneron Independent Australia
Autonomy and Independence
We are independent winemakers, and we take great pride in this. Our passion for the art of
traditional winemaking runs as deep as the roots of the vines in our vineyard. We have a
profound respect for the land and the environment, which we share with native wildlife and
fauna. This respect underpins the principles we strive to uphold every day.
It is only natural that, alongside tending to our vines and crafting our wines, we aim to share
this journey in every bottle we produce. Each bottle is a time capsule of our work,
representing the unique story of our family vineyard, and the growing season in which the
wine was produced from. These wines embody the concept of terroir, with every sip
connecting the land, the people, and the passion behind them.
In September 2024, a pledge was made to lay the foundations for a collective that would allow independent winemakers to unite and gain recognition for their craftsmanship. This initiative, known as Vigneron Independent Australia, seeks to honour and promote the work of independent winemakers across Australia.
The Vigneron Independent charter commits the winemaker to:
- Respect their terroir
- Work their vineyard
- Harvest their grapes
- Vinify and mature their wine
- Bottle their wines
- Market their products
- Strive for perfection while honouring tradition
- Being open and transparent about their products.
- Support their local community
- Welcome and encourage tastings, taking pride in presenting the fruits of their labour
