Our Story
The History of St. Anne’s Winery
With a shared passion for winemaking, Allan and Shirley McLean planted the seeds and laid the foundations of the St. Anne’s legacy.
Family-owned & operated from day one, St. Anne’s Winery began its legacy in the Pentland Hills at Myrniong, Victoria, in 1972 as the Australian wine industry was beginning to take its roots.
True pioneers of their time, St. Anne’s was more than just a vineyard then, it was a venture into uncharted territory of viticulture.
At St. Anne’s, our philosophy has always been simple:
Superior vineyard management, coupled with fine winemaking to consistently produce excellent wines.
Our wines are an expression of our beautiful unique terroir and our family’s passion for producing quality Australian wines.
With 50 years of experience driven by a strong family passion, St Anne’s Winery boasts an exciting range of premium wines with fruit sourced from our multiple vineyards throughout Victoria & NSW.
St. Anne’s Winery: The Present
Now, in 2026, Allan and Shirley have passed along the knowledge of the craft to their son Richard, who during his time as Chief Winemaker has ushered in the present era of St. Anne’s Winery.
Over the past decade, we’ve embraced a culture of sourcing top-tier fruit from our multiple vineyards, enriching our diverse and ever-expanding portfolio of premium wines.
From the foothills of Mount Alexander in Bendigo and Myrniong in Victoria, to the Perricoota wine region on the banks of the Murray River, St. Anne’s Winery strives to continue to empower our legacy on both a domestic and international level. Through consistent craftsmanship, dedication, and innovation, we have been privileged to expand our export portfolio beyond Australia, to include Vietnam and China.
At St. Anne’s Winery, our commitment to excellence is demonstrated in every bottle, serving as a testament to our dedication to craftsmanship and tradition. Raise a glass to the extraordinary – taste the difference.
