About Irvine

Irvine Wines was established back in 1983 by a visionary team who succeeded in putting Australian Merlot at the forefront of the world’s very best. Irvine is now re-emerging even stronger, led by a team that combines world-class Barossa winemaking and viticultural traditions with a track record of excellence in innovation.

Irvine Wines are one of the largest privately-owned premium grape growers in the Barossa with over 400 acres of premium Barossa and Eden Valley vineyards. Four generations of Miles’ family expertise ensures the fruit we grow is of the highest quality and harvested with precise timing.

Lachlan is a dynamic and professional winemaker with twenty years’ experience making wine for some of Australia’s top wineries. His passion for producing wines of quality and distinction is especially evident in his work for Rockford, where he spent six years crafting their wine with precision and love. Starting as assistant and finishing as head winemaker, he was undeniably instrumental in developing a modern Rockford style. Lachlan has fed his interest in adventure and travel with vintages in Ribera del Duro, Oregon, Valpolicella and (most exotic of all) the Adelaide Hills. Lachlan is passionate about making wines of distinction, believing that wine is made in the vineyard.
