About Arfion Wines

Arfion simply means “Our Wine” in Scottish Gaelic.

Originally from New Zealand, Dave Mackintosh established Arfion with his father Brian and brother Jimmy in 2011.

The time was right to build a small independent wine business, where we can be hands on, free to take some risks, and make wines that we truly love. Dave has been obsessed with making wine since ’98 and respects numerous styles. This has driven Arfion to mix things up to create classic, single site, single variety expressions as well as multi-vineyard blends and lo-fi offerings.

Sourcing grapes from highly skilled, sustainable growers from across the Yarra, we take care in making sure the site and variety are in harmony throughout the season. Low impact winemaking adds layers of flavour and texture and allows us to exhibit our own thumbprint.

Our wines are intuitive, evolving styles, that reflect the many connections between vineyard, variety and vintage.

We do abide by one rule. All wines must deliver good times.

100 % Yarra Valley.

Fresh, textured and delicious.

Fine Wine Cellars

On the one hand, our role as a merchant of all things wine & spirits could not be simpler. We aim to source the most delicious, the most authentic, and the highest quality products possible from Australia and around the world in order to offer them to our clients. We live or die by how well we perform this task. Of course things are rarely as simple or as easy as they seem. Hunting for wines & spirits is no different. Apart from the months spent travelling, countless days and evenings spent tasting and the outrageous wine expenditure in the name of ‘research’, sourcing quality wine and spirits requires expertise and experience. Understanding the potential of a producer and their products is much more than just a slurp and a spit.
