About Thompson Estate
Jane and Peter Thompson purchased the Thompson Estate property in 1994. The first plantings of Chardonnay were in 1997, followed by the Cabernet plantings in 1998. New plantings include new Burgundian clones of Chardonnay, a total of 45 hectares under vine. From the outset at Thompson Estate the focus has been on high quality wine production and this has been recognized in many wine show medals and accolades from the wine press. The most treasured has been the recognition by James Halliday, Australia’s premier wine critic, that Thompson Estate is a Five Red Star winery, placing it in the top echelon of Australian wineries.
