Richard and Pam Austin began their journey with wine 25 years ago with a five-acre vineyard, in Geelong, dedicated to making super premium wines for Australia’s best restaurants. In the 1990s, the family purchased a large property near Bannockburn, in the Geelong region. Richard Austin set about planting of 150 acres of vines with the single-minded focus of producing the best value Pinot Noir in the world
Austins vineyard, at Sutherlands Creek, includes one of the largest, family-owned holdings of Pinot Noir in Australia.
The climate, the rolling slopes of this part of the Moorabool Valley and the soil combine in a terroir that allows the vines to produce first-class fruit.
In the case of pinot noir, that premium quality is augmented by the mix of six clones throughout the vineyard.
The property also has small plantings of riesling, chardonnay, pinot gris, viognier and shiraz, all of which produce exceptional fruit in the cool climate conditions of the Geelong region.
