Trentham' s winery has been operating since 1988, where it has grown from the initial 30 tonne crush, to a minimal but state-of-the-art facility handling 2,000 tonnes of premium fruit each vintage.
It allows the flexibility to perform different winemaking styles, resulting in the diverse and always consistent Trentham Estate wines.
Anthony Murphy, Chief Winemaker and Managing Director, oversees all wine production. Anthony graduated from Roseworthy College with a Bachelor of Applied Science in Oenology and began winemaking at Mildara Blass.
Anthony is passionate about many alternative grape varieties, such as Viognier, Petit Verdot and Taminga, and enjoys experimenting each vintage with a new style.
In 2006 Anthony and his brother (and Trentham's viticulturist) Pat Murphy, were nominated for Australian Gourmet Traveller WINE magazine's 'Winemaker of the Year' award - the first winemaking team from an irrigated Murray region to be nominated.
The latest alternative wines from us include the new additions to the La Famiglia range - a Vermentino and Sangiovese Rose.
Anthony is assisted with the winemaking by Shane Kerr, as well as Cellar Manager Dale Smith and Cellar Hands Nathan Smith and Dave Campbell.
Our winemaking team has been working together for many years, allowing us to produce consistently good wines.
