Over the past two years, Haselgrove has been awarded the Dark Horse Winery of the Year 2015 and achieved a 5-star rating by James Halliday. In more recent times, the winery has been awarded the Winestate Magazine 2017 ‘Wine Company of the Year’ and 2017 ‘Wine Maker of the Year’.
Established in 1981, Haselgrove is surrounded by Shiraz, Cabernet Sauvignon and Mourvèdre – with the Shiraz and Cabernet Sauvignon vines dating back more than 60 years. Although established in 1981, it wasn’t until 1999 that the winery as it stands today was built. Change again was afoot, when in 2008 over a game of cards and couple of hearty reds four Italian-Australian industry veterans decided to purchase Haselgrove. Don Totino, Don Luca, Steve Maglieri and Tony Carrocci went to work injecting a heap of passion and ultimately revamping the brand, it’s presentation and it's entire range of wines.
With a combined experience of 36 years, Chief Winemaker, Alex Sherrah and CEO, Christophe Forel are both passionate about producing small-batch, artisan wines that ultimately reflect vintage conditions and the terroir of each respective vineyard.
