One of the largest wine processing and storage facilities in Australia, Pernod Ricard Winemakers are selling the decommissioned winery for an undisclosed sum.

Colliers agribusiness national director Tim Altschwager said the site offered a wealth of possibilities for its future new owner.

“They can reinstate the winery site, and there’s big warehousing areas on there for storage and a wine storage building so that could be done,” he said.

“There’s opportunity, I suppose for wine tourism to convert that Chateau into a cellar door come tourism location.

“And then there is alternate use opportunity subject to council consents, but there’s big spaces with about four abodes for residents on site already.”

Richmond Grove Winery has operated for more than a century and has produced some of Australia’s most celebrated wines, including its acclaimed Watervale Riesling, which has been hailed as one of Australia’s finest white wines.

With its rich history dating back to 1897, Richmond Grove Winery was first established by Ernst Gottlieb Hoffman and later became known for its high-quality wines, including Riesling and Shiraz.

Nick Goode, Colliers agribusiness associate director said Richmond Grove Winery’s strategic location in the Barossa Valley, renowned for premium wine production, further enhanced its appeal.

“While Richmond Grove’s heritage is entrenched in winemaking, its future could include a mixture of industrial, residential and wine tourism pursuits, subject to necessary consents,” Colliers industrial and logistics national director Tom Barrett said.

While the site’s significant climate-controlled warehouses and tank storage make it ideal for large-scale production, storage, and distribution operations, there was also scope for residential development subject to approvals.
