The vineyard and winery are located behind the township of Oakbank in the beautiful Adelaide Hills. Murdoch Hill has been farming here since 1939, with four Generations of family caring for this land. They established the vineyard and started producing wines in 1998. Michael, the winemaker, formally trained at Adelaide University. After studying Oenology, he toured the great wine regions of the world with harvest experience in Adelaide Hills, Barolo, Italy, and Great Western, Victoria. Michael then came home to lead the winemaking at Murdoch Hill. He combines sound technical knowledge with an adventurous spirit, employing winemaking techniques that give freshness and vibrancy, resulting in delicate wines suited to pairing with the modern Australian food scene.
