WHO IS BEN MURRAY?
In truth, Ben Murray is not one person, but two very passionate wine-lovers.
Like all great partnerships, it started with a common interest. For Daniel Benjamin Eggleton and Craig Murray Thompson, that interest happened to be a good drop of wine.
They dreamed of one day crafting premium small-batch wines made with elegance and texture, and with layers of stories and experience encased within the bottle.
Ben Murray became a second life; a return home, after being out in the world alone, to do it their own way.
Our winemaking process is a marriage between honouring tradition and pushing the boundaries.
Each wine is built upon a classically Barossan foundation. The land is tended and grapes treated according to the well-known methods that placed Barossa Valley wines on the vinous map. There is just one pair of hands that touches the wine after the grower has delivered the fruit to us.
But rules are made to be broken. We want our wines to be unique, worldly…well-travelled. So wherever there is tradition, there is innovation. The style and elegance of French and Italian winemaking is a key component in Ben Murray’s method of crafting wines that represent experience, perspective and worldliness.
