We (Hans and Anna Orth) have been involved in horticulture from the time we left school. Both completing certificate 3 in horticulture. Our passion for wine and our prime Yarra Valley location lead us to invest in our vineyard dreams. In the early 1990's there was an explosion in the demand for Australian wine. As our property was situated in the middle of the premium wine producing region of the Yarra Valley, 1 hours drive from Melbourne, we decided to plant grape vines and venture into the wine business. We planted our first vines in 1996 and are still constantly uprooting and replanting as part of the ongoing cycle of the changing popularity and improvement in clones of wine grapes. Previously our fruit was sold to other wineries, over the years we decided to produce our own label, and that was when Copperhead Wines was born. With passion and love, we hope you enjoy the fruits of our labour. ​
