THE STORYPrint Friendly Copy

When Dr Peter Mc Mahon planted the first vines at Seville Estate in 1972, it marked the rebirth of the Yarra Valley as a premium wine region. By the end of the decade Dr McMahon and his wife Margaret, along with producers such as Mount Mary, Yeringberg, Yarra Yering, St Huberts and the like were fashioning wines that served to re-establish the lofty reputation the Yarra Valley had enjoyed in the 19th century.

From its first vintage, Seville Estate quickly established itself as one of the Yarra Valley’s finest producers. Surprisingly in a region more renowned for its red wines produced from Cabernet and Pinot Noir, it was the Seville Estate Shiraz that received the most attention, quickly becoming one of Victoria’s most sought after wines. These wines that have been called "one of Victoria's best kept secrets" are now some of the most stylish on the market, with back vintage tastings showing their superb ageing capacity.

A new generation of the McMahon family has also become involved in Seville Estate. Peter and Margaret’s grandson, Dylan McMahon is now the winemaker, following the passion ignited a generation before. The Seville “style” focuses on elegance and finesse, while showing fantastic complexity and structure. They are cool climate classics that stay true to the vineyard and vintage influences.

Today 35 years after Peter and Margaret started the dream; Seville Estate enters its third phase.

 

Graham and Margaret Van Der Meulen purchased the property in December 2005. They are fully hands-on in the vineyard, winery, and cellar door and plan to continue Seville's long-established record of producing consistently high quality wines.

“There is a real comfort in knowing that the wines are made on the Estate.

You can wander through the winery, taste from barrels and feel the care and attention given to each one.

Everyone involved is passionate, including Joan and Dave who have worked in the vineyards for nearly a decade tending the vines”.

Seville Estate continues to produce wines that are simply "Yarra Classics". Wines you can be proud to serve with a confidence that is borne of history and passion.
