ABOUT Whistler

The story of Whistler ('Pfeiffer' means 'whistler' in German) starts in 1982 when Martin Pfeiffer, a third-generation grape grower and former head vineyard manager at Penfolds, purchased the Heysen estate. In 1994, he planted cuttings of the famous Kalimna 3C Shiraz from Penfolds' iconic Grange vineyards, and they released their first wines in 1997. The Pfeiffer family has been growing grapes for four generations, starting with Albert Heinrich in the Riverland region. After Martin and his wife Sally retired in 2020, their son Sam took the reins.
OUR FAVE THINGS ABOUT THIS WINE

Another hit on the label front! The willow tree that grows next to the dam on the estate where the fruit is sourced; Saturn represents the 'other-worldliness' of skin contact wines; and a clay pot reminds us that, while orange wine is recently trendy, it's a practice that's been around for a long, long time.
