‘We are sure that Tony will succeed in the country with his winery and practice’ - Tony McKendry’s University Yearbook,1978. Fast forward to 1993, after a wedding, a momentous relocation to the countryside, the joyful arrival of four children, and a multitude of taste testing, Tony finally made good on his word, purchasing a property on the outskirts of Mudgee. In 1994, Tony and wife Debbie planted some of the first Tempranillo vines in Australia, along with Semillon, Chardonnay, and Cabernet. After seeing great results with the Spanish varietal, other Spanish reds Garnacha and Graciano were planted in 2000. At Vinifera they believe that less is more - their approach to wine growing and making. They are committed to producing authentic, terroir-driven vintages in tune with the environment and have been certified organic since 2013. In 2024 Tony and Debbie have resumed a backseat as daughter Samantha takes the reins with big plans for the future.
