Who are we?
We're a small team, with big ambitions.
Founded and owned by Pauly Vandenbergh, Munda Wines is an Aboriginal-owned and led premium wine business under the day-to-day management of Jess Greatwich.
As a national wine company proudly based in South Australia, we bring a unique lens to the contemporary Australian wine industry - showcasing a stunning diversity of landscapes across the country and demonstrating their role in producing vibrant, expressive wines that tell a larger story.
What we do differently
Traditionally in Australia, wineries are based in one particular region (think Barossa, or Margaret River) and they make all their wines from grapes grown exclusively in that area.
We take a broader perspective. Working work with Traditional Owners, grapegrowers and winemakers from across the country, we showcase a national story of contemporary Australian wine, through the lens of 65,000 years of Indigenous custodianship and care for Country.
In short, we believe there's good reasons why Chardonnay grows so well in the ancient sandstone landscapes of coastal Wadandi Country (Margaret River) or why the deep volcanic loam of Wurundjeri Country (Yarra Valley) produces such lush, delicately spiced Pinot Noir.
Our challenge is to capture the essence of each region, connecting our customers with ancient landscapes, culture and knowledge of these landscapes through a suite of premium, contemporary Australian wines.
Why?
Good question. It's a one word answer:
Connection.
Munda Wines connects our customers directly to the diverse and stunning landscapes that make up Australia’s renown wine regions. These lands have been nurtured and protected by Traditional Custodians with intimate, expert knowledge since time immemorial, and continue to hold living stories, songlines and culture to this day. Our wines connect you to the physical characteristics of these landscapes through taste, texture and aroma, and it is our hope that this connection sparks a conversation around your table – a sense of curiosity to go beyond the physical and discover the richness, vibrancy, and diversity of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures thriving across Australia today.
