Murdoch Hill is a family-owned winery located in the Adelaide Hills region of South Australia, near the town of Oakbank. The estate has been under the stewardship of the Downer family since 1939, with the first vineyards planted in 1998. Today, the winery is managed by brothers Michael and Andrew Downer.
The winery manages two estate vineyards: a 20-hectare property near Oakbank, planted with varieties such as Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Shiraz, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Cabernet Franc; and an 8.5-hectare vineyard in the Lenswood sub-region, known for its high-quality Chardonnay and Pinot Noir.
The vineyards are cultivated with a holistic approach, avoiding herbicides and pesticides, and using only organic fungicides to maintain soil health and ecosystem balance.
