Buller Wines

Victorian High Country


Making fine shiraz since 1921, Buller may no longer be family run, but it's still locally owned. Both its muscat and tokay are renowned, receiving perfect scores from wine critics James Halliday and Robert Parker. It's also the location for Ripe@Buller Wines, an informal but stylish bistro.
