- The winery is based in The Riverina, the second largest wine grape growing region in Australia
- Established in the 1960s, the winery was in operation until the 2010s by the Orlando Group
- Has a wine grape processing of 20,000 tonnes
Colliers has been appointed to sell the Wickham Hill Winery, located in Griffith, New South Wales.
The sale comes as the group that owns the winery is in receivership, with Tim Mableson and Ryan Eagle of KPMG the Receiver Managers of the Wickham Group.
Based in The Riverina, Australia’s second-largest wine grape growing region, Wickham Hill Winery was established in the 1960s, and was operated by Orlando until 2010.
Orland developed the winery to a high standard, which includes a wine grape processing capacity of around 20,000 tonnes, complemented by 198.5 million litres of stainless-steel tank storage.
“This winery offers huge potential, particularly because of its location and the millions of litres of large batch storage,” said Tim Altschwager National Director of Colliers Agribusiness.
“We expect it to appeal to a broad target market, including wine industry producers looking to expand or relocate their current operations, those seeking additional wine storage, as well as local and overseas investors attracted to the significant wine infrastructure and even the potential opportunity to redevelop the site to alternate uses.”
In addition to the plant and equipment, the asset has administrative facilities, workshop and staff amenities, a managers residence, extensive operational shedding along with an 80-tonne weighbridge.
Several of the largest Australian wine producers are located in the area including De Bortoli, McWilliams, Casella Wines, Warburn Estate and Calabria Family Wines.
Expressions of interest close Friday, 28 October.
