Who is 919 Wines?
About us
919 Wines is a family owned boutique winery near the Murray River in South Australia. Founded in 2002 by Eric and Jenny Semmler, the company focuses on high quality, small batch wines from warm climate varieties. We are based in Glossop, approximately 3 hours from Adelaide and 90 minutes from Mildura. The company was founded in 1999, with the first vineyard established in 2002, and the first vintage in 2004. Our vineyards and wines are certified organic, in keeping with our philosophy of living sustainably within the environment.
The winery can handle a crush of 60 tonnes of fruit, grown on vineyards under our direct management or from growers who can meet our stringent viticultural and production standards. We purchased a second vineyard in 2011 to assure supply and to provide for the continued growth of the company. Our team includes the principals, an assistant winemaker and a team of talented people who assist with vineyard and winery operations and our cellar door.
Our company and wines have won numerous awards, including Winestate Fortified Wine of the Year, Winestate Organic Wine of the Year and The Adelaide Review Wine of the Year.
