"We like to keep it all in the family at Buller, so fruit is drawn from our two vineyards in Rutherglen and Beverford".
Rick Buller oversees management of their Beverford winery while Andrew Buller is winemaker / manager of their Calliope vineyards and Rutherglen winery.
Both brothers opted for a 'hands on' approach to learning their craft, albeit following different paths. Under the tutelage of his father, Rick worked the 1973 and 1974 vintages at Rutherglen, becoming manager at Beverford. His first vintage in 1975 was a resounding success, picking up nine awards at the Brisbane Wine Show.
Andrew has worked vintages in regions as diverse as Gisborne, the Clare Valley, Portugal and Beaujolais, and shows particular skill in fortified and table wines. He won a gold medal at the Rutherglen Wine Show for his first vintage port in 1981 and is the winemaker for our iconic Rutherglen Shiraz, Calliope.
