On a perfect mid-April day, the Austin family launched the company's new brand 'AUSTINS'. A small group of restaurateurs, retailers, media and friends gathered at Richard and Pam's home, within Greenbanks, to toast the occasion with a range of wines, current and mature.

While also celebrating 25 years of effort and passion in progressing the business to the current day, Austins took the opportunity to release the Austins Chardonnay 2006.

With a refreshing glass of Austins Riesling 2006, the party watched a short presentation, that tells the story so far, before moving to the dining room for lunch.

Local restaurant, Two Faces presented a venison pie to match the Austins Pinot Noir 2005 and Reserve Pinot Noir 2003. While the Austins Shiraz 2004 led the way to the cheese course and the stunning Austins Late Picked Riesling 2005.

A side table offered a selection of museum wines some of which are being offered to our wine club members from this web site.
