Massoni Wines and GlenKara Vineyard are located in the Pyrenees wine region of Western Victoria. Visit them also in the Mornington Peninsula.
Founded by Leon Massoni in 1984. Leon's passion for fine wine was influenced by his family's involvement in establishing such culinary icons as Melbourne's Florentino Restaurant in 1928 and through his relationship with his uncle, legendary winemaker Jimmy Watson.
In 1990, Ian Home (founder of Yellowglen) became a partner in the business and introduced a Massoni Pinot Noir and Lectus (sparkling wine) to the product range.
In 1996 Ian visualised the need to expand the company's source of ultra premium grapes beyond the Mornington Peninsula, whose erratic meso climate and limitation in supplying quality chardonnay and pinot noir restricted the product range Massoni was able to offer.
In 1997 Ian and Wal Henning (founder of Taltarni and Warrenmang) engaged the assistance of the Stanford Group to develop GlenKara Estate, a 300 hectare vineyard in the Pyrenees region, which will provide Massoni with the majority of its shiraz, cabernet sauvignon and merlot requirements over the nrxt decade. In 1998 the mid-price Homes range was introduced. Currently, the majority of our production is sold to restaurants or exported. The future direction of the company is to expand its production base from circa 20 tonnes in the 1980's to 500 tonnes over the next 4 years.
