Munda Wines Introduction

Munda is my Wirangu & Kokatha country word for land that pre-dates the French concept of 'terroir' by over 80,000 years. From a young age, I was taught to look after my munda (land) first, then animals and plants, then my family. These are the same values that underpin Munda WInes. We are majority Indigenous owned with Supply Nation status, and our social programs are opening pathways for my people to enter an industry that relies on munda to produce the highly sought-after wines Australia is famous for.

Our philosophy at Munda Wines is to express the munda of select Aboriginal countries through our fine wines whilst sharing stories from the world's oldest living culture. As Aboriginal people, we don't believe in owning the munda. We believe munda is our mother and giver, and that if we care for munda, munda will care for us. Our winemaking as a result values the virtues of patience and a deep understanding of local munda, using gentle practices, minimal intervention, and the use of older seasoned oak regimes to showcase munda delivering wines with a refined texture, fragrant and bright yet restrained.

Each wine proudly showcases the immense history of specific Aboriginal countries that are suited to producing some of the finest wines in Australia and these countries as my people know them are recognised on the front label of all of our wines. After all, these sacred places have been referred to as Kaurna, Ngadjuri, Peramangk, or Walgalu for tens of thousands of years. We explore varieties that we believe are ideally suited to that country, and that has long-term sustainability to work in harmony with munda.
