A talented team makes great wines

David Lowe

One of Australia’s leading wine industry figures, David Lowe represents the sixth generation of the Lowe family, graziers who settled in 1829 at ‘Tinja’ in the Mudgee region of New South Wales.

David attended the local primary school, and subsequently Hurlstone Agricultural High School in Sydney and Roseworthy Agricultural College, South Australia where in 1979 he graduated with a Bachelor
of Science (Oenology).

His passion for agriculture and wine was nurtured during his school years and holidays on the family farm where David subsequently established the LOWE vineyard (8 ha) in 1973. Since 2003 it has operated organically.
