Winery Overview
Trifon Estate is proudly an Australian family owned and operated, single estate vineyard located in Wahring in Goulburn Valley, Central Victoria, Australia.
A lengthy search to find the right parcel of land suitable for viticulture to bring the family’s vision to produce wines from their own vineyard, culminated in the purchase of land in 1998, with the first plantings in 1999.
The estate consists of 1450 acres (579ha) of which 771 acres (312ha) is planted under vine to 16 grape varieties including: Shiraz, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Petit Verdot, Durif, Malbec, Sangiovese, Tempranillo, Chardonnay, Riesling, Sauvignon Blanc, Semillon, Pinot Grigio, Viognier, Traminer and Marsanne.
The Goulburn River meanders 6 kilometres around the vineyard and the estate was once an ancient riverbed and flood plain giving the land an abundance of rich resources. Quality sandy loam soils with parcels of dense limestone, sufficient artesian water and a diverse microclimate enables us to produce an exceptional range of award-winning wines.
Our founders Nick and Pauline have a long history in the Australian wine industry; a milestone of 50 years achievement for them, their family and staff at Trifon Estate.
Our vineyard is named after St Trifon who is the Patron Saint of Winegrowers and Winemakers. The 14th of February is celebrated worldwide as St. Valentine’s Day and this day has significance as it is also the feast day for St Trifon, where in parts of Europe celebrate the start of vine pruning; however, in the Southern Hemisphere in Goulburn Valley, Australia around this time we celebrate the start of the new vintage and our harvest.
Trifon Estate is a producer of high quality, full flavoured, fruit driven wines that wines that enrich the senses. Our wines have been awarded over 653 accolades at Australian and International wine shows over the last 5 years.
