Wignalls – a family tradition

Wignalls was established in 1982 after subsequent investigations into Terroir by our founder Dr Bill Wignall. Results showed Albany’s growing conditions in Spring and Summer were virtually identical to the famous Burgundy region in France, thus it was decided to experiment with Burgundian varieties such as the unknown Pinot Noir and Chardonnay varieties. First vintages saw amazing results with Gold Medals and Trophies for both varieties, and subsequently over fifty Gold and Trophies have been received by this boutique winery to date, both domestically and Internationally. Now the winery has branched out with popular styles such as Unwooded Chardonnay and Cabernet Merlot to suit everyday taste to compliment our range of Super Premium wines.
