Family-Made Wines and Olive Oils from Eden Valley

Our story
The beginning
Our story began when ballet dancer Sarah met Max, Phil’s beloved dog. Sarah’s affection for Max was immediate, and it wasn’t long before her feelings for Phil followed. United by their shared love of the countryside, Phil and Sarah decided to build their life together at Boongarrie Estate.

Our Approach to Winemaking
When Phil and Sarah took over Boongarrie Estate in 2002 and 2003, the vineyard — planted in 1998 — consisted of young Shiraz and Cabernet Sauvignon vines. Over two decades of careful stewardship they brought the two Shiraz blocks and the stronger Cabernet block into healthy, full production. In 2020–2021 the upper Cabernet block was removed and replanted with Riesling, Grenache and Gamay — varieties better suited to the site.
Today we craft small-batch wines from these estate vines, alongside carefully selected Riesling, Grenache and Pinot Noir from trusted Eden Valley growers. Each release reflects the unique character of its parcel and the conditions of the season.

Our Approach
We craft our wines with minimal intervention in small batches, allowing the true character of each vineyard parcel and the unique conditions of the season to shine through. The result is balanced, expressive wines that speak honestly of their variety and site. Nearly all are vegan-friendly, with only minimal additives used.

The Estate
Life on Boongarrie Estate
Boongarrie Estate is our family home and workplace. We tend the vineyard and olive grove alongside grazing land for our flock of Australian White Sheep and two alpacas, all part of a balanced, low-impact farming system. The wine shed sits quietly among the vines and trees, allowing us to oversee every step from vine and tree to bottle.

The estate
Boongarrie Estate lies in the high eastern reaches of the Barossa Ranges. Shallow soils, rock outcrops and limited water define the site and shape our careful management of both the vineyard and olive grove.
We produce only small quantities of wine and olive oil each year. Visits are by prior appointment only, with at least one week’s notice required. We warmly welcome genuine enthusiasts who value site-driven wines and would like to experience the estate firsthand.
