About Killiecrankie Wines

Killiecrankie Wines is the venture of experienced winemaker John Monteath, a viticulturist with over 20 years' experience working with vineyards in the Bendigo and Heathcote wine regions. The wines are made in the true garagiste style with hand plunged ferments, basket pressing and minimal intervention, resulting in elegantly proportioned wines with fine texture and balance. A new cellar door opened in Maldon in November 2024.
