Berri Estates Winery is situated in the heart of South Australia's Riverland between Berri and Glossop. The majestic River Murray is the essential element in providing premium grapes for our wine, together with our Mediterranean climate. A 70 year old lemon scented gum tree towers over our cellar door sales as a sentinel welcoming visitors to a wide range of wines for tasting.

The Berri Estates winery is Australia's largest single winery and distillery complex, processing 70,000 tonnes of grapes annually. It is well equipped with modern draining, pressing, clarifying and chilling facilities to guarantee the quality of all its products. It has the capacity to store over 73 million litres of wine and of this, two million litres are devoted to wood storage in oak hogsheads and puncheons for fortified wine maturation with a further seven million litres of stainless steel storage contained inside specially constructed refrigerated cold-rooms.

The Berri Estates Winery as it stands today is testimony to the drive and tenacity of the co-operative's founders; while the pursuit of excellence and the high standard of Berri products available today is a credit to the quality of all the people involved with this major Riverland operation.

Details

History
Berri Estates Winery was established in 1924, when a group of grape growers formed a Co-operative Distillery to manage surplus grape production. By mid 1930's emphasis shifted towards fortified wines and Berri Estates became Co-operative Winery and Distillery. In the ensuing years it became evident that consumer preferences were moving away from fortified wines and towards table wine. To cater for this increasing demand the production capabilities of the winery were again expanded in 1958. In 1982 the Berri Estates Co-operative was strengthened by merging with Renmano Wines from Renmark to form Consolidated Co-operative Wineries Limited.
