We are a small family owned wine company - producing small batch, unique wines from Yarra Valley vineyards. High quality grapes allow for winemaking with minimal additions. All wines are naturally fermented with indigenous yeasts, MLF where appropriate is spontaneous and usage of sulphur dioxide is careful and considered. All wines are bottled without fining (vegan) and rarely filtered.Winemaker Dale Wheeler has been deeply immersed in the Victorian wine industry since 2012, relocating to Melbourne from Brisbane to study Viticulture and Winemaking. For a number of years he worked growing fruit and making wine within the Yarra Valley for Strenua, while also completing a number of vintages for other producers within the region. Wheeler Wines continues to further explore the diverse sub-regions within the Yarra Valley bringing you delicious wines along the way.
