Louise Samuel and her late husband Colin Sellers purchased Lucas Estate in 2003. The wines are made from the estate vineyard (at an altitude of 825 m), which is planted to chardonnay, cabernet sauvignon, muscat hamburg, merlot, verdelho and shiraz, and also from purchased grapes. A new winery was completed in time for the 2008 vintage, with a pneumatic press for the white wines, leaving the basket press for reds. Later that year Colin Sellers succumbed to cancer; after it had been diagnosed 18 months earlier, he and Louise agreed that Lucas Estate should continue, and that is what she is doing.
