Established in 1996, Brischetto Wines has grown to become the tenth largest wine producer in Queensland.
Joseph Brischetto, proprietor of Brischetto Vineyard, combines an Australian influence with his Sicilian grape-growing heritage. Joe was born in Fiumefreddo, Sicily in 1945 and like most Italian families in those days, his family grew and processed their own grapes. When Joe and his family moved to Australia in 1950, they carried with them a love and appreciation for wine and winemaking.
Located in Bargara, between the ocean and local Bundaberg landmark "The Hummock", the vineyard was established in 1996 and the very first vintage was a limited production Shiraz in 1999. Since then, wine production has increased and each year sees new varieties introduced.
