About Houghton Wines
Houghton is one of Australia’s oldest wineries, dating all the way back to 1836. Houghton wines is known for its colourful history including tales of pioneer Scots, bandits, and generations of winemaking craftsmanship.
Only four years after the fledgling town of Perth was established, three British Army officers (Thomas Yule, Ninian Lowis and Richmond Houghton) purchased a prime piece of land in the Swan Valley and established Houghton.
We captured the nation’s attention in 1937 when winemaker Jack Mann created Houghton White Burgundy. Now known as White Classic, this is still one of the most popular Australian white wines today.
