Producer Information

Brown Brothers is a family-owned Australian wine producer that has been making wine in Milawa in Victoria’s King Valley for more than 130 years. Along with the ubiquitous Shiraz and Cabernet Sauvignon wines, Brown Brothers is known for experimenting with unusual grape varieties, and makes wine from Glera (Prosecco), Cienna, Tarrango and Muscat of Alexandria, among others. The company was established in 1889 by John Francis Brown. Today, 840 hectares (2075 acres) are managed by the third and fourth generations of the Brown family in Milawa, Blanksdale, Mystic Park and Heathcote in Victoria, as well as in the Hazards and Kayena in Tasmania. The 60 hectare (148 acre) Milawa vineyard in the lower reaches of the King Valley is Brown Brother’s home vineyard, and was first established in 1885. It is planted to Riesling, Cabernet Sauvignon, Dolcetto, Graciano, Mondeuse, Shiraz and Chenin Blanc, which are used in the estate’s landmark Patricia wines. It is also the location of the estate’s winemaking facilities and Kindergarten a mini-winery dedicated to the production of experimental wines. Brown Brothers takes advantage of different soils and climatic conditions at each of its vineyard sites to produce a wide range of grape varieties. Vineyards in Heathcote are planted to classic red varieties like Cabernet Sauvignon, Malbec and Merlot as well as Spanish and Italian varieties like Tempranillo, Montepulciano and Nero d’Avola. Many of the company’s more experimental varieties are planted at the estate’s warmest site in Mystic Park, within in the Murray Valley. This vineyard covers 281 hectares (694 acres) of land, and is planted to Cienna, Tarrango, Flora and Crouchen. The flagship wine range from the Brown Brothers portfolio is Practicia, named in honor of founder Patricia Brown and dedicated to all the women from the family who have contributed to Brown Brothers. The expansive range includes varietal Cabernet Sauvignon, Shiraz and Chardonnay as well as a noble Riesling and a sparkling wine from Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. The Brown Brothers Moscato is one of the best selling wines in Australia, produced in a light and refreshing style from Muscat of Alexandria. Folllowing this success, other Moscato-based wines have been added to the portfolio, including blends of Moscato with Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Grigio and Chardonnay. The company is a member of Australia’s First Families of Wine, along with other well-known names like Yalumba, D’Arenberg, Tahbilk and Henschke.
