Geoff Merrill was born in 1953 and was raised on a sheep station in the far north of South Australia until he was 11 years old. The Merrill family then moved to the Barossa Valley, just north of Adelaide, where Geoff's first links with the wine industry were formed. Following his apprenticeship at Chateau Reynell, in 1985 he purchased the historic Mount Hurtle winery.

Reknowned for his handle-bar moustache and friendship with many of crickets elite, his talents were recently rewarded when he received the legendary Jimmy Watson Trophy, probably Australia's most prestigious wine award. Geoff Merrill also make wines for famous ex-cricketer, Ian Botham.

The Geoff Merrill winemaking philosophy has been and always will be, to make wine that allows regional, varietal and vintage expression without excessive winemaker intervention. They believe great wine is a matter of balance and strive for subtle, elegant and harmonious flavours in their wine.
