The People

Helen’s Hill Estate is 100% family-owned vineyard and winery with all of the various benefits and wrinkles that come with running a family operation!

 

We are the 5th generation of our families to farm – a fact which we are immensely proud of. My brother-in-law Andrew McIntosh, his wife Robyn (my sister), my wife Christine and I, all explored off-farm careers before bringing our hard earned knowledge back to our agricultural roots.

 

"We are the 5th generation of our families to farm"

But before we get to carried away with our achievements we all know that Helen’s Hill Estate would never have got off the drawing board if it wasn’t for Lewis and Roma. Their intimate knowledge of the land accumulated through years of broad acre farming in the Mallee and years of hard work building the vineyard has been the corner stone to our success.

 

Our corporate logo depicts the evolution of our enterprise. The wheat sheaf is where we all started, on the land. Some travelled the path of medicine; the serpent and the cross; some entered the world of trading financial markets; the bull and the bear; but we all ended up back on the land; bunch of grapes.
