MARGAN

Margan Wines is a multi-generational grape growing, winemaking and tourism operation established by Andrew and Lisa Margan in 1996. The estate now farms 100 hectares of vines following regenerative agricultural principles on the historic Fordwich Sill (Broke Fordwich GI), a truly iconic volcanic soil formation dating back 200 million years. A combination of 50yr old vineyards planted to traditional varieties such as Semillon, Chardonnay and Shiraz, with the addition of some more contemporary regional styles including Albarino, Barbera and field blends of Shiraz/Mourvedre and Tempranillo/Graciano/Shiraz.

The second generation of Alessa and Ollie as viticulturalist and winemaker respectively are back home after experience abroad, bringing with them a fresh perspective to the brands evolution. A gentle approach in the winery at Margan aims to produce wines of regional definition and varietal typicity.
