About Mulline Wines
Ben Mullen is a qualified winemaker and wine drinker.
Ben grew up just east of the Barossa Valley region in South Australia. After graduating from secondary school, Ben enrolled in business and marketing at Uni. Concurrently, Ben began working in the wine industry at cellar doors in the Barossa. He promptly decided that wine was much more fun than marketing and enrolled in a Bachelor of Viticulture and Oenology at Adelaide University.
Since then, Ben has had a whirlwind career which has seen him making wine all over the globe. Of note, Ben has worked at Torbreck (Barossa Valley, South Australia), Yarra Yering (Yarra Valley, Victoria), Oakridge (Yarra Valley, Victoria), Domaine Dujac (Burgundy, France), Craggy Range (Hawke’s Bay, New Zealand) and Clyde Park (Bannockburn, Geelong, Victoria).
With this stellar background, it was a matter of time before Ben Mullen decided to spread his wings and make wine under his own label.
Ben Hine is a qualified wine drinker only.
Born in South Australia as well, Ben Hine began working in the hospitality industry in year 10 at school and has worked at esteemed establishments in both Adelaide and Melbourne. Of most influence was Ben Hine’s almost 8 much loved years working with the Favaro family at the Adelaide institution, Chianti.
After finishing study, Ben Hine has worked in law and is now a senior lawyer in Melbourne’s legal industry. With that background, he has a head for business and knows a thing or two about drinking wine.
Ben Hine is the Business Manager at Mulline Vintners.
Since the dawn of time, making wine has been a resource intensive practice. That is why good wine is so special and should be savoured and appreciated. While good wine will forever be a luxury item, it does not have to cost the earth to make. Mulline adopts environmentally friendly practices and aims to achieve product life cycle sustainability and to positively influence the community. The steps we have taken so far and our planned future actions are outlined below.
