Our story
A chance encounter
Our story begins with a serendipitous encounter between a ballet dancer named Sarah and a dog named Max. Sarah’s affection for Max was immediate – her feelings for Phil, Max’s owner, were soon to follow. Discovering a mutual love for the countryside, Phil and Sarah decided to build a life together at Boongarrie Estate.

Our Wines
Labour of love
With a love for the land and all it produces, Phil and Sarah embarked on a journey to grow Shiraz and Cabernet Sauvignon in the most honest way they could. Two decades on, Boongarrie Estate produces some of the finest wines the Eden Valley has to offer, hand in hand with Riesling, Pinot Noir and Grenache, sourced from the best vineyards in the region.
Our Approach
Our wines are fresh, lively and delicious – embodying the essence of each varietal, the region we love, and the inimitable impressions left by the growing conditions of the year. Almost all our wines are vegan, and minimal additives are used.

The Estate
Living on the land
Living on the land is a rewarding life, full of hard work and new challenges. We wouldn't have it any other way. Alongside our winemaking facilities, where our grapes are carefully crafted into Max & Me wines, we have a vineyard, olive grove, and grazing land for our Australian White sheep and pair of Alpacas (Dave and Bendy).
The estate
Our estate is situated in the wild, rugged landscape of the Eastern Barossa Ranges. Rock outcrops and ancient redgum trees dot the horizon. With shallow soils and limited water, vineyard blocks are carefully positioned to avoid inarable land. The raw beauty of the estate presents unique challenges but remains an idyllic setting to raise a family. Visits to the estate are a treasured experience, reserved exclusively for our members. Each vintage is crafted in small, thoughtful quantities, and we welcome those who share a deep connection with both the land and the wines we create.
