Buller Wines
Buller Wines
Founded in 1921, Buller Wines combines a rich heritage with modern winemaking techniques to produce exceptional wines. Led by Gerald Judd, Dave Whyte and Michael Murtagh, the local family-owned winery has experienced a revitalisation, transforming it into a must-visit destination in the Rutherglen region. Under their stewardship, the Calliope vineyard has been rejuvenated with new plantings, while the winery itself has undergone upgrades and introduced a variety of new wines and ranges.
Buller Wines’ century-old winery has recently undergone extensive reinvigoration and is now on display, alongside the Barrel Perfection Experience where you can taste a range of Muscat straight from the barrel and learn about winemaking techniques that were used in the 1920s. It takes significant skill, passion and energy to tackle the role of chief winemaker at Buller Wines, and since 2012, the winery has been lucky to find these traits in Dave Whyte, who was tasked with balancing one hundred years of tradition with his own style and knowledge to help the business evolve. The winery’s achievements have not gone unnoticed, having been awarded Lux Life Winery Estate of the Year Victoria at the 2024 Travel & Tourism awards, as well as listed as one of the Top Wineries of Australia in the Real Review in 2021, 2022, 2024 and 2025.
Buller Wines is where world-famous fortifieds meet crisp whites, bold reds, craft gins and whisky, best enjoyed on the winery’s lush lawns with cheese platters. With a variety of wines available to taste, there is something for everyone at Buller Wines, from King Valley Prosecco to the winery’s fifty-year-old Calliope Rare Muscat. With an ever-friendly atmosphere, the staff at Buller Wines welcomes everyone from novice wine tasters to experts.
Buller Wines has recently released a new side project – Three Chain Road Distillery. Three Chain Road features four signature gins: muscat gin, shiraz gin, elderflower gin and dry gin, alongside seasonal gins and a rare cask-aged whisky. Three Chain Road’s distiller, who is also Buller Wines’ winemaker, has spent countless hours blending some of Australia’s finest fortified wines, and with this experience and his extensive knowledge of spirits, he creates the perfect balance of spirit and wine.
The grounds at Buller Wines now host boutique vineyard accommodation. Overlooking the Calliope Vineyard, eight cabins offer a picturesque stay for wine and nature lovers alike. Wake up to breathtaking views of the vineyard and immerse yourself in the culture that defines Buller Wines. Whether you seek a romantic getaway, a serene weekend retreat or a wine-filled adventure, Buller Wines offers an idyllic and tranquil escape.
Tasting Notes

⇐ The Nook Prosecco NV
Buller Wines searches every ‘nook’ and cranny for the best fruit in Victoria. This wine has been sourced from the King Valley from high elevation vineyards. It’s fresh and clean, with little hints of orange sherbet and blossom. A perfect balance of sweet and dry.

⇐ Balladeer Durif 2022
This wine has a dense inky black colour with a deep dark red hue. Fresh morello cherry aromas combine with liquorice and black plum over vanillin oak and spice. Full in body, spicy morello and black cherry fruits intermingle with liquorice, toasty vanillin oak and subtle earth. Youthful bright acidity and well-integrated yet robust tannins. This wine has matured for twelve months in American oak hogsheads.

⇐ Calliope Shiraz 2021
The Calliope Range is released in limited quantities and only in exceptional years benefitting the standards Buller Wines sets for its premium wines. Grapes for the Calliope range are hand-picked from century-old vines to produce wines of great intensity and flavour. Intensely concentrated, ripe red fruits, Christmas pudding spices and masses of cherry and blackcurrant flavours.

⇐ Calliope Rare Muscat
This fifty-year-old wine was labelled 100/100 by internationally renowned wine critic, Robert Parker. Perfection only comes in small quantities with less than 1000 bottles released each year. Every bottle of the Rare muscat is individually numbered for authenticity and traceability. Deep amber with olive green edges. Intense raisins, figs, rancio and Christmas cake. The palate is long and intense with many layers of complexity.
