The first vintage was in 1972, and from then until 1991 the Lynn’s were purely grape growers, selling their production to larger wineries, predominately to Wynn’s Coonawarra Estate.
In 1991 a decision was made to make 10 tonnes of Shiraz into wine. This was done at the Brand Family’s “Laira” winery by Bruce Gregory, who along with the late Jim Brand was a winemaker there. Gradually more and more grapes were converted into wine until we decided to build a winery here on the Majella property.
That winery was completed in late 1998, and at the start of 1999, Bruce joined the Majella Team and production commenced at the new Majella Winery. From 2002 onwards all the grapes grown on the Majella vineyards have been processed on-site and packaged under the Majella label.

The Majella Shiraz first appeared in 1991 and has since acquired a reputation as one of Coonawarra's finest Shiraz's. Deep, vibrant ruby red colour with a bright crimson hue. A full-bodied Shiraz, with a pretty blue fruit bouquet and a lovely lift of lavender. A smooth, balanced palate with nicely integrated oak and ripe, sweet berry fruit flavours. We present it as an example of Coonawarra Shiraz at its very best.
