Graeme Jukes Winemaker Pyrenees Story by Pyrenees Ridge Winery

Graeme Jukes had a dream of establishing his own winery and in 1998 Pyrenees Ridge Winery was born.

When Graeme and Sally Jukes found their dream property near Avoca in the heart of the Pyrenees Wine region, they relocated their young family from Melbourne for a new life in the country.

Graeme always had the passion and desire to own a winery and vineyard and today Pyrenees Ridge Winery produces high quality, premium boutique Wines from the renowned Pyrenees Wine Region of Central Victoria.

His wines are hand made throughout the whole winemaking process with the Pyrenees Shiraz being his signature wine, and his Reserve Shiraz being the highly awarded flagship wine.

Although Graeme's wines are not as truly "handmade" as they used to be, certain aspects of the winemaking process are still very much handmade and hands on.

Graeme and Sally are certainly living their dream, proving their long search over 10 years ago has paid off.
