Ralph Fowler Wines

Ralph Fowler Wines is committed to producing limited quantities of hand crafted premium quality wines. A true family company Ralph, his wife Deborah, daughter Sarah and son James are all involved in the 100-acre property at Mount Benson. Ralph and Deborah have been in the Australian Wine Industry for more than 30 vintages.

The vineyard is planted with selected clones of Shiraz, Viognier and Merlot and the latest viticultural technologies have been incorporated into the vineyard plantings.

The Lyre trellis system will give fruit of the best possible quality and allow the production of fruit driven wines with strong varietal expression and superior mouthfeel. PRD irrigation practices ensures quality grapes are produced as well as taking a major step toward environmentally sustainable agriculture.

One of the highlights for Ralph Fowlers was in 1996 when he garnered a total of 5 trophies for Leconfield 1995 Shiraz. This included Best Wine of Show and he was named Winemaker of the Year winning the Singapore Airlines Trophy at the Adelaide Wine Show – one of the most prestigious Wine Shows in Australia’s Wine Circuit.
