[This winery may no longer be operating.] CJ Wines is your classic ‘tin-shed’ start up. It was at the tiny Tarcoola winery, in the Moorabool region of Geelong in 2013, that David Crawford (winemaker) and Phil Joiner (Sales & Marketer) started their winemaking partnership; David with over 20years winemaking experience in Northern Victoria and Margaret River before settling in Geelong, and Phil with over 20 years of sales and marketing experience at larger & smaller wine producers. They quickly outgrew the ‘tin shed’ and have a new home at the former Pettavel winery at Mount Duneed, Geelong. Always looking to produce ripping value wines they focus on sourcing their fruit primarily from Geelong and Heathcote, where David has strong relationships with grape growers. Currently they produce wine under the Hereford Wines (www.herefordwines.com), St Erth (www.st-erthwines.com) and Redcastle (Dan Murphy's exclusive) brands.
