GEOFF MERRILL WINES

While working at Chateau Reynella, Geoff began to make wines under his own "Geoff Merrill" label; his first release in 1983 included a 1980 Cabernet and 1981 Semillon. With a view to establishing his own operation, Geoff purchased the beautiful, but run-down Mount Hurtle Winery in 1985 and, after restoring the property to its full potential, Geoff left Hardy's in 1988 to embark on his own venture... Trevor Stratton eventually sold his share of Stratmer Vineyards in 1992 to Alister Purbrick of Chateau Tahbilk, who remained a 50% partner until 2007. Geoff is now the sole owner of the company and continues to develop and produce exceptional wines... Geoff Merrill Wines have been creating perfectly balanced wines for generations. Based in Woodcroft SA, our winery is well worth a visit!
