Possums Wines was created by founders Dr John Possingham and Carol Summers in 2000. The 60 hectares of vines have remained with the owners since 1980, where grapes grown at these sites were sold to neighbouring wine producers. With technical expertise and experience, Possum Vineyards are now producing high quality grapes, suitable for premium estate grown wines.
