As a key member of Australia’s First Families of Wine (AFFW), Brown Brothers is proud to have forged a reputation as innovators and trailblazers, both locally and abroad. Although their roots remain in the Milawa region of the King Valley, an expansion into Heathcote added significantly to their armoury. 

The 2005 Brown Brothers Limited Edition Petite Sirah Syrah is a blend of Petite Sirah (Durif) and Syrah (Shiraz) from their Heathcote vineyard, bottled exclusively in magnum. To mark the significance of this release, the label replicates one of their earlier label designs and says 'Milawa Vineyard Milawa BB', which is known today as Brown Brothers Wines.

About the winery

Brown Brothers

Brown Brothers have been home to some of Australia's favourite wines for over 130 years. Their philosophy is about being experimental, innovative and dedicated to making wines for all kinds of tastebuds. It all started in 1885 when John Francis Brown planted 10 acres of vines in Milawa. The vines were mostly Riesling, Muscat and Shiraz grapes. In 1889 the first vintage of wine was produced in the Old Barn which still stands on the property today.

"As a key member of Australia’s First Families of Wine (AFFW), Brown Brothers is proud to have forged a reputation as innovators and trailblazers, both locally and abroad. Whilst we've ventured far and wide, to this day our roots remain in the Milawa region of the King Valley, where 130 years and four generations later we're still excited by oysters and sparkling at Christmas, our pioneering spirit, and that new favourite drop we know we're yet to create. Because, as Ross Brown (third generation) says; 'We are a wine company with tradition, but we're not a traditional wine company'."  Brown Brothers

"Brown Brothers draws upon a considerable number of vineyards spread throughout a range of site climates – from very warm to very cool. An expansion into Heathcote added significantly to its armoury. In 2010 Brown Brothers acquired Tasmania's Tamar Ridge. In May 2016 it acquired Innocent Bystander and with it a physical presence in the Yarra Valley. The premium quality varietal wines to one side, Brown Brothers has gained 2 substantial labels: Innocent Bystander Moscato and Innocent Bystander Prosecco. Known for the diversity of varieties with which it works, the wines represent good value for money. Its cellar door receives the greatest number of visitors in Australia. A founding member of Australia's First Families of Wine. Exports to all major markets.”  James Halliday

Wine region map of Victoria

Victoria

Victoria is home to more than 800 wineries across 21 wine regions. The regions are Alpine Valley, Beechworth, Bendigo, Geelong, Gippsland, Glenrowan, Goulburn Valley, Grampians, Heathcote, Henty, King Valley, Macedon Ranges, Mornington Peninsula, Murray Darling, Pyrenees, Rutherglen, Strathbogie Ranges, Sunbury, Swan Hill, Upper Goulburn and Yarra Valley.

Victoria's first vines were planted at Yering in the Yarra Valley in 1838. By 1868 over 3,000 acres had been planted in Victoria, establishing Victoria as the premier wine State of the day. Today, the original vineyards planted at Best's Wines are among the oldest and rarest pre-phylloxera plantings in the world.

Victoria's climate varies from hot and dry in the north to cool in the south and each wine region specialises in different varietals. For example, Rutherglen in the north is famous for its opulent Muscats and Topaque and bold reds, while the many cooler climate regions near Melbourne produce world class Chardonnay and pinot Noir. Victoria is truly a wine lover's playground.
