John Gehrig Wines

John Gehrig is a fourth generation winemaker who comes from Victoria's oldest winemaking family, settling in the late 1850's at Barnawartha in North East Victoria.

John spent sixteen years working on the family estate before a three year exposure to commercial and retail business whilst actively pursuing a vineyard investment.

In 1976 John and Elizabeth purchased twenty acres of land at Oxley on the King River and during that year established their first vines. The diversity of this pretty countryside with such a range of viticultural microclimates was an encouragement to settle in the King Valley.
