Portia Valley Wines

Generations of winemaking history go into each bottle

Portia Valley Wines is owned and operated by the Grigoriou family. Our vineyards are nestled at the top of the Monash Valley and on the fertile soils of Loveday in the Riverland. We have encapsulated the traditional taste of South Australia for local and travelling wine enthusiasts to indulge.

Portia Valley Wines

Our History

After a few decades working in Riverland wineries, Chris Grigoriou started Portia Valley Wines along with his wife, Teresa. Chris’ passion was always to establish a wine company to continue both his father’s and grandfather’s family legacy by making premium quality wines for everyone to enjoy.

We bring together centuries of winemaking experience and family tradition at Portia Valley Wines. Our tradition, viticulture skills and processes originated from the Peloponnese wine region of Sparta, where Chris’ grandfather taught his family how to grow and maintain grapes.

Chris’ father owned and operated a winery in Monash, which is where Chris spent his formative years learning the wine business. The skills and passion he accrued from his grandfather and father continue to run down the family line to bring a taste of tradition that tells the family story.

Portia Valley Wines is a combination of Chris’ mother’s name, Portia, and the location of the first vineyard where she spent long days working at the top of Monash Valley — which overlooked the region and township.

Chris Grigoriou

MANAGING DIRECTOR

Chris is responsible for the overall activities, profitability, and direction of the business. He has worked in the wine industry for more than 40 years, and was appointed General Manager of the family winery in 1987 after studying accountancy. Prior to this position, he wore the title of Administration Manager.

He then joined a Monash winery as General Manager from 1987 to 2001, before moving on to a Loxton-based Winery in the same position until 2013. Back in 1992, he and his wife Teresa purchased their first 25-acre vineyard which has since expanded to five vineyards—totalling over 100 acres of organic vineyards, with an annual crush of over 1,500 tonnes of organic grapes. In 2014, he founded a Barossa based bottling company which he sold in 2016. He’s since founded a much larger and more efficient bottling company call South Australian Wine Bottlers (SAWB), which is located on Port Road, Beverly. SAWB is solely owned by the family wine company, Portia Valley Wines Pty Ltd.
