Founded in 1797, Kreglinger possesses a prodigious and storied history in the delicate craft of fine winemaking—a tradition rooted in generations of passion, precision, and perseverance. The distinguished legacy of George and Christian Kreglinger began in the heart of Belgium, where two entrepreneurial brothers, driven by vision and a pioneering spirit, laid the cornerstone of a family business that would come to stand the test of time. Their dream took shape in the bustling port city of Antwerp, a historic centre of European trade and commerce. It was there that the Kreglinger company was officially established, and to this day, it proudly retains trade registration number one in Antwerp—an enduring symbol of its remarkable longevity and heritage.

Over the ensuing decades, the Kreglinger name became synonymous with quality, integrity, and innovation across a range of ventures. In 1893, as part of the family’s continued expansion and international ambitions, the group extended its operations to the southern hemisphere, founding Kreglinger Australia. This bold move marked the beginning of a new chapter in the company’s evolution—one that would eventually bring their expertise in premium goods and meticulous craftsmanship into the realm of Australian viticulture.

More than a century later, in the year 2000, Kreglinger Australia made a defining stride in its winemaking journey by acquiring the acclaimed Pipers Brook Vineyards. Established in 1974, Pipers Brook was one of the pioneering vineyards of the Tasmanian wine industry, located on the island’s cool and pristine north coast. The region’s maritime climate, long growing season, and ancient soils offered a unique opportunity to produce wines of exceptional elegance, purity, and structure. With this acquisition, Kreglinger seamlessly merged its centuries-old European heritage with Tasmania’s emerging reputation as one of the world’s finest cool-climate wine regions.

Today, Kreglinger continues to honour its legacy through the careful stewardship of Pipers Brook and its associated labels. With a deep reverence for tradition and a constant drive for innovation, the company remains dedicated to producing wines that express both the rich history of their founding and the singular character of the Tasmanian landscape. Each bottle is a testament to a legacy that spans continents and centuries—a legacy shaped by visionaries, sustained by excellence, and shared with discerning wine lovers across the globe.
