Our Story
When Jono Knowles was introduced to the wine industry, he was blown away. The art and the romance of the industry was like nothing he had ever experienced before. The closest thing he could liken it to was travel; when you go to another country and experience another culture, you’re taken out of your own little world into something completely different.
So much was the impression and influence on him, that he felt the need to share it with friends and family so they too could experience some of the alchemy. Knowles Brothers Wines started out as a passion project, but once friends and family tasted the wine and got involved in harvesting, crushing and pressing the fruit, there was potential in growing the business, and hand-in-hand with this, an opportunity to share further by sourcing and bringing a wider variety of wines into the project.
Demand was such that many who shared in the experience often offered to collaborate and assist in pushing along the Knowles Brothers progression of expanding their range and making different varieties. The Knowles Brothers philosophy is that good wine is grown. That is why they put so much effort into sourcing the very best fruit from growers that they know and trust. It is also what makes them different.
Doing the very best by the fruit is an art. It takes a long time, exposure, passion, opportunity, and the biological advantage of tastebuds to make a truly thoughtful wine.
Knowles Brothers hold themselves to the highest standards, incorporating their values of sharing, integrity and excellence in everything they do. You’ll find that they don’t cut corners, and will always show you a good time.
Join the Journey. You won't be disappointed!
