Portia Valley Wines

Portia Valley Wines was established by Chris and Teresa Grigoriou, Chris being a third-generation viticulturist and wine producer and with over 40 years’ experience in the wine production industry. Chris’s passion was always to establish a wine company and continue both his father’s and grandfather’s family tradition. Where better to establish his company than in the area he gained all his experience, in the heart of Australia’s largest wine growing region, in the Riverland of South Australia. The naming of Portia Valley is in two parts, named after Chris’ mother Portia, and the location of the first vineyard where she spent many long days working. Portia Valley owns and operates 150 acres of vineyards nestled at the top of the Monash Valley and in the fertile soils of Loveday in the picturesque Riverland. With a focus on sustainability, the vineyards are Australian Certified Organic (Producer Number 10936A) and were planted between 1990-2005. The Riverland region enjoys a Mediterranean climate with low rain fall, mild winters, dry summers, and low humidity. Rich and fertile sandy loam soils make this a perfect climate and region for growing grapes. We also have access to world famous wine regions including Barossa Valley, Clare Valley, McLaren Vale, and the Coonawarra regions of South Australia.
