Description

About Starrs Reach Vineyard

Our family has farmed along the River Murray for six generations and we enjoy a proud connection to the river and the environment in which we live and work.

Our vineyards are uniquely located between Loxton and Moorook on the Seven Mile Reach, the longest reach along the Murray River, lifeblood to its ancient red loam over limestone, diverse ecosystems, and farming community. This natural wonder is the namesake of our business and brand and is strongly linked to our heritage.

Starrs Reach Vineyard has been owned and operated by the Mason Family since 2010 and is a new chapter in this story that spans generations of the Mason family living and working on the land where they continue to emulate their ancestors as salt-of-the-earth Australian farmers who work in harmony with their land and are generous of heart, knowledge and spirit.

With this innate knowledge, the Mason Family understand their connection with the land and in turn acknowledge and respect the traditional owners of this land, the Erawirung Maru clan of the First People of the River Murray and Mallee region.
