Cofield Wines - We Mix Business with Pleasure then Bottle it!

Our Vision

To make the best wine that we can, deliver distinctive, varietally honest, quality wines and share our passion for wine with the world.

Our History

The Cofield family have been treading the vineyards of Rutherglen for generations. Frank Cofield, the Great Grandfather of the current owner, Damien Cofield, started working at St Leonards vineyard in 1909.

His children followed suit with labourious vineyard toil for many vintages at St Leonards. One of these children, Harold, worked there all his working life - over 50 years.

Winery founder Max Cofield spent his school holidays working there, chipping weeds, before getting an 'inside job' working at Seppelt and later at All Saints winery. In 1985, Max at 45 decided it was time to set up on his own.

He obviously made the wine industry look enticing, because his son Damien has followed Max into the industry, and has now taken over the winery, awaiting the next generation to mature.     

Our Winemaker

Damien Cofield

Damien received a Wine Science degree at Charles Sturt University in 1999. He then set of to Chablis, near Paris to broaden his vineous horizons. Damien has been hands on at Cofield's since then and has followed in his fathers footsteps in taking over the winery with Max's retirement in 2007.  

Our Wines

We have been sourcing fruit from our own vineyards in Rutherglen, as well as from grape growers in the following regions  -  King Valley, Alpine Valley, Beechworth, Glenrowan, Central Victoria, Pyrenees, Tumbarumba & Orange. 

In 2012 we have made the decision to focus on the North East Zone, so as well as our Rutherglen fruit we will also feature the King Valley, Alpine Valley & Beechworth.
