WELCOME TO CHALMERS

The Chalmers family’s commitment to innovation and excellence has made them a pivotal force in the Australian wine scene for over 20 years.

Bruce and Jenni Chalmers began growing winegrapes in the mid 1980’s.  Over the years their Euston vineyard grew to become the most diverse and one of the largest privately owned vineyards in Australia.  The sustainable viticulture techniques Chalmers implemented and refined at this site have been widely taken up by Australia’s warm climate irrigated regions to improve water efficiency and fruit quality using less water and chemicals.

Their new vineyard in the Heathcote wine region of Victoria promises to continue the pursuit of quality and reduction of environmental impact with only drought and heat tolerant varieties being established in the high density, state-of-the-art vineyard.

 






Their vine propagation business, Chalmers Nurseries, was responsible for importing over 70 new clones and varieties into Australia many of which are now beginning to form a significant presence in the market both here and overseas.

The Chalmers range of Italian varietal wines, which includes Vermentino, Fiano, Negroamaro Rosato, Nero d’Avola, Lagrein, Aglianico and Sagrantino, is made with sustainability, diversity, authenticity and quality at the core of it’s philosophy.

These wines are the result of years of experimentation and refinement, from terroir to barrique, Australian wines which proudly display their continental heritage.
