The Inspiration Behind Burnt Acre Vineyard

The winemaker's passion for wine was ignited during a visit to the Passing Clouds cellar, a moment that solidified a lifelong dream. This passion was further fueled by their father's love for wine. In 1989, Cliff Stubbs and Maureen O’Connor purchased the winery, naming it Burnt Acre Vineyard after a grass fire in 1991. Since then, they have embraced a continuous learning process in winemaking and business, fostering a close friendship with Grame Leith at Passing Clouds, which has been instrumental in their success.

Their expertise allows them to create limited releases that are ripe, bold, and smooth, featuring fine tannins and a lingering finish. Each wine reflects the essence of the Victoria region, crafted through gentle basket pressing and hands-on winemaking techniques, resulting in artisanal wines that showcase finesse.
