Established in 1988, Dorrien Estate is nestled in the heart of the Barossa on the site of the historical Dorrien township. Once the railway center of the Barossa, Dorrien was where the Barossa's highly prized wines started their journey by train to other parts of Australia and beyond. This connection to far-reaching places has always been at the core of what we do, which is to source the wonderful grapes from passionate growers in the fine regions across Australia and craft them into premium small-batch wines that are enjoyed all over the world.

Occidental
Occidental story starts in 1975, when Steve Kistler started his career in the wine business. He fell in love with a vineyard named "OCCIDENTAL Vineyard", because it was located on the top of a coastal site, overlooking the Pacific Ocean. He fell in love with Pinot Noir and its truly unique characteristics, vivid aromatics, a bright natural acidity and from that point onward, he devoted his life to the Pinot noir. After years of purchasing small plots that suited the growing and developing of this precious grape, he founded Occidental in 2011, a winery dedicated to the production of world-class pinot noir from the Freestone-Occidental area. Today, Occidental farms 85 acres of pinot noir. The vineyards are farmed with great skill and commitment by many of the same men and women who have worked alongside with him at Kistler Vineyards.
