Welcome

To the Austins Wines Website

Austins is an outstanding vineyard and winery at Sutherlands Creek, in the heart of the Moorabool Valley, north west of Geelong. About an hour's drive south west from Melbourne, you enter Austins 'Greenbanks' property off Steiglitz Road. Richard Austin planted 150 acres of vines with the single-minded determination to produce the best pinot noir, in the world.

Austins now has 90 acres of pinot noir at Sutherlands Creek. We believe this is the second largest family holding of the variety in Australia. The bonus for Richard and his family is that the soil and climate at Sutherlands Creek also does well with Riesling, Chardonnay and Shiraz. In fact, all three are prominent in their own right.

While the reviews and trophies are mounting, the best way to understand the philosophy and determination behind the Austins brand is to taste the wine.

Pinot Noir

Pinot Noir is the essence of Austins; fine fruit, first and foremost.

Bounded by the vineyard at Sutherlands Creek and based on the history of the Geelong region, that core is shaped by the site’s terroir and given momentum by the perception and acumen of the Austin family.

The blend of these elements transforms premium grapes into wines of finesse.
