Our History

Buller Wines was established in Rutherglen in North-East Victoria in 1921 by Reginald Langdon Buller.

From humble beginnings some 100 years ago, Buller Wines has grown to be a leading Victorian winery, spanning premium wine regions including Rutherglen, King Valley, Swan Hill and Heathcote.

Our founding fathers’ vision was to create a world-class winery that expresses the unique terroir of the region, a legacy we continue to build upon today.

Our historic dry-grown 22-hectare Buller Wines Estate Vineyard was first planted by Reginald in the early 1920’s. Today, over half of those original plantings are still producing intensely concentrated low yielding fruit that is the hallmark of the Buller Wines portfolio.

Our spiritual home, Rutherglen, is internationally recognised as one of the pre-eminent fortified wine producing regions of the world and Buller Wines leads the way with extraordinary, fortified wines in the Muscat, Topaque and Tawny ranges.

Whilst carrying an enviable reputation for fortified wines, innovation has seen Buller Wines craft an award-winning array of red, white and sparkling wines sourced from premium vineyard regions across North-East Victoria.

In 2013 after over ninety years of stewardship under four-generations of the Buller family, the winery and vineyards were acquired by the Judd family, whose family came to the district in the 1930’s.

They were later joined by part-owners Michael Murtagh – General Manager and Dave Whyte – Chief Winemaker / Head Distiller. Both are Rutherglen locals and have a wealth of experience and knowledge in the wine industry.

Since being acquired by new ownership Buller Wines has been rejuvenated with a strong focus on investment in winemaking, storage, operations and most importantly, the vineyards - with one driving focus at our core – quality.

Our commitment to quality has been rewarded. In recent years under the guidance of experienced winemaker Dave Whyte we have established Buller Wines as a coveted 5 star rated James Halliday Winery.

We pride ourselves on the quality of every bottle we produce and on the diversity of our range - from sparkling to award-winning table wines and of course, our world-famous fortifieds.
