Wine Producers

Browns Of Padthaway is family owned and has been established in the Limestone Coast since 1970. With a philosophy based on a commitment to the environment and a focus on iconic Australian wines, Browns produce wines that reflect regionally. All the wines are estate grown from the family’s Keppoch vineyard Glendon Park and hand crafted by winemakers David O’Leary and Nick Walker.

The Bryson family’s unique estate vineyard is located in the premium cool climate region of Padthaway. Terra rossa soil, environmentally friendly viticulture, low yield and exceptional fruit are how they consistently produce some of the region’s finest wines.

Cardiness lies in the heart of Padthaway with gentle slopes, red-brown clays over limestone and sustaining, abundant high-quality groundwater and the neutral free-draining soils of this very old Land. John & Julie Summers farm grass-fed cattle, sustainable pastures and grow wine grapes on the lower slopes, authentic to the qualities of this place.

Farmers are no strangers to risk. But when you know your land and what makes it tick, such risks often reap great rewards. When Scott Longbottom and Cheryl Merrett took the leap to plant vines on their Padthaway land in 1993, they applied the know-how handed down from three generations of farmers. This place is part of their DNA.

‘Wines crafted by hand, vines nurtured by the land and air.’

Landaire Wines is the award winning family owned brand by David and Carolyn Brown and son and daughter Daniel and Lara. Their cellar door based at historic Padthaway Estate in the heart of Padthaway is home to both their Landaire and Eliza sparkling wines. Landaire reflects the importance of both the ‘land’ and ‘air’, the terroir in which they grow their vines and Eliza pays homage to the history of the Padthaway region.

Oparina Wines reflect the work and passion of 3 generations of farming and wine production in South Australia’s Padthaway Wine Region. A hands-on approach to small parcel wine production by owner/vigneron Phil Brown, along with winemaker Sue Bell, allows Oparina to carefully monitor and create the optimum selection of wines from our premium grapes. Small batch fermentation with natural yeasts, attention to detail and the use of premium oak allows the wine to be created and aged to produce the best possible expression of the fruit, which will continue to develop as the wines mature.

The success of Penfolds has been driven by the generations of visionaries and innovators. From the beginning in 1844 to today, the merging of science, art and innovation has driven Penfolds to become one of Australia's most famed and respected winemakers.

Tynans View is a small vineyard amongst a crowd of large vineyards. Nestled at the southern most tip of the Padthaway GIS in Limestone Coast of South Australia, Tynans View must stand above the crowd and produce wines of difference and quality. We do not aim to compete in the crowded commercial market place and so we distinguish ourselves by our difference, personality and craftsmanship.
