Producer

Jamiesons Run in Coonawarra was founded in 1955 by Ron Haselgrove, managing director of the Mildara wine company, and in 1963 he built one of the first modern wineries in the district. 

The winery has won many awards over the years including the prestigious Jimmy Watson Trophy at the 1989 Melbourne Wine Show. 

Winemaking

Early morning harvesting ensures optimum freshness for the grapes. Harvesting is done at optimum ripeness whule there is still balanced acidity in the fruit. Traditional vinification takes place in temperature steel vats with just enough natural tannins from the grape pips and skins to add depth to the juice.

Fun Fact

Jamieson’s Run Winery was named after a sheep station in Victoria, a property familiar to the winery founder who decided to give his winery a quirky agriculturally inspired name as a tribute to the pioneers of the outback
