Cofield Wines

"Max Cofield has been making wines since 1964 and has earned a well-deserved reputation for being a master at making Sparkling Shiraz.

These days Max's son Damien oversees the winemaking and the wines are almost elegant in comparison to some of the more heroic styles of the district.

The Sparkling Shiraz is, of course, brilliant and you should buy as many bottles of it as Max will let you put in the boot of your car." Ben Canaider

The story of Cofield wines began in 1985 when Max Cofield was feeling in need of a hobby. His wife Karen told him “your hobby can’t be winemaking – it needs to be different from what you do for a living”. 

Max listened dutifully, then bought a piece of steel and spent the rest of winter drilling the holes for his first grape crusher…so began his first 'shed wine' and Cofield Wines was born.

Max & Karen have now retired and handed over the reins to the next generation – two of their sons Damien (winemaker) and Andrew (vineyard manager). A hobby indeed!
