Murrindindi Winemakers
The first vineyard emerged in the early 1970s, named after its location, Murrindindi Vineyards.
It was founded by the Cuthbertson family, but sadly, the old Chardonnay and Cabernet Sauvignon vines have been pulled out in recent years.
The vineyard boom in Victoria in the mid-to-late 1990s also extended to the Shire of Murrindindi.
Vineyards are concentrated around the districts of Murrindindi and Limestone, near the Melba Highway, and the Cathedral Range, near the Maroondah Highway.
From the first vines planted until the present, wineries in Murrindindi are family-owned.
The local winemakers have a hands-on approach and often manage the viticultural and winemaking aspects of their business.
Winemaking starts in the vineyard, and it is the uniqueness of boutique wineries to marry the growing and making of the wines.
Murrindindi wines are widely available at local hotels, cafes, restaurants and retailers throughout the Shire of Murrindindi.
Look for them on menus and ask for local Murrindindi wines.
