Welcome to the home of the brown magpie

Brown Magpie Wines is a single vineyard, estate produced vineyard and winery located in Modewarre, just off the Great Ocean Road in the Surf Coast Hinterland of Geelong, Victoria.

Trophy and Award Winning Wines

Located at Modewarre, in the hinterland of the Great Ocean Road, Brown Magpie Wines handcrafts some of Geelong’s most highly reputed cool climate wines. All grapes are hand picked and our red, white and sparkling wines are a true reflection of our vineyard.

the brown magpie philosophy

Wine is to drink and enjoy. Wine should have provenance. Where were the grapes grown? Who grew them? Who made the wine? The wine should reflect the region it comes from, and even the vineyard it comes from. It should reflect the seasons and the age of the vineyard. It should illustrate the inspiration of the viticulturist and the winemaker.

This is what our wine does. Brown Magpie Wines can talk to you because it knows exactly which patch it comes from. It understands its relationship with the French Oak barrels it matures in for over a year. It loves the tender care of the winemaker.

guardians of wine making magic

Let the grapes speak for themselves. As guardians of wine making magic, we barely intervene and use traditional European techniques that have been perfected over hundreds of years. By learning from the best, using the highest quality French oak and hand picking only our best fruit, like most things in life the secret is when you do things properly, you get them right.
