Our Review
Owned by the Swift family. Brothers Edward and David took over from their parents Jim and Ruth Swift in the early 2000s. Together the family have clocked up almost 20 years of commercial wine production and the vineyards are now reaching a good level of maturity at 25 years. The 32ha of estate vineyards are planted between 630–1070m elevation, including Orange's highest vineyard at 1070m. Winemaker Drew Tuckwell has been at Printhie since 2007 and has over 20 years of winemaking experience in Australia and Europe. Exports to Singapore, Canada and the Philippines. -JAMES HALLIDAY
