About Grant Burge
The Burge family planted their roots in the Barossa Valley in the 1800s inspiring five generations of devoted vignerons. After years of working on the family’s vineyard, Meshach Burge, the eldest son, decided it was time to branch out from the family business, away from viticulture and into the world of agriculture.
Meshach could not shake his innate love of grape growing, wine and winemaking. In 1865 he installed fermenting tanks in one of his sheds, intending to create wines that he could share with his friends and family. Out of his generosity came what is today the Grant Burge brand.

Craig joined Grant Burge Wines in 1993 as Cellar Manager and was soon promoted to Assistant Winemaker in 1994, Winemaker in 1995 and Senior Winemaker in 1997, with his meteoric rise within the company being due to his enormous talents, leadership, inquisitive mind, and his unrelenting passion for winemaking.
