A changing climate, curious consumers and a love of experimentation has ensured S&K is an innovative rising star in the Australian wine scene.

Stanton & Killeen is one of the oldest, continually operating wineries in Rutherglen. They have been an integral part of developing Rutherglen’s reputation as an engaging, approachable, authentic and desirable wine region to visit. 

Stanton & Killeen blends innovation with tradition, celebrating seven generations and almost 150 years of family winemaking. Today, the business is owned and managed by mother-daughter team Wendy and Natasha Killeen. The winery is best known for alternative Portuguese varieties, flavoursome Rutherglen red wine and continuing the family's long custodianship of award-winning Muscats, Topaques and Vintage Fortifieds.

Originally planted by Christopher Killeen thirty years ago to achieve his vision for crafting Australia's best Vintage fortified, S&K's diverse range of Portuguese varieties are flourishing at their property in Rutherglen. Since Christopher's untimely passing in 2007, they have explored ways to produce distinctive sparkling and table wines from Touriga Nacional, Tinta Roriz, Tinta Barroca, Souzão and Tinto Cão.  

Stanton & Killeen experiences focuses on providing unique products that highlight the food and wine element of Stanton & Killeen as well as the natural beauty of the site.
