Bremerton was founded by Craig and Mignonne Willson in Langhorne Creek in 1985. Bremerton is now a true family affair, with their daughters, Winemaker Rebecca Willson and Marketing Manager Lucy Willson, joining the team. Under Rebecca’s guidance, Bremerton has emerged as a producer of traditional, full-bodied, and flavour-rich wines.
With 117 hectares planted in Langhorne Creek, the estate’s vineyards are located on the fertile soil of the Bremer River flood plain, which benefits from Lake Alexandrina’s cool evening breezes, creating a microclimate characterized by mild to warm summer days and cool evenings. These conditions allow the grapes to ripen slowly, resulting in wines with intense and sought-after cool climate flavours. The Bremerton team has also made substantial investments in its oak program, utilizing premium French and American oak barrels.
