Barossa Valley, South Australia

Old world meets new — with heart, heritage, and respect for the land.

Sigurd Wines is the vision of winemaker Dan Graham — a modern storyteller guided by generations of family history and a deep reverence for the land. Named after his Norwegian great-grandfather, Sigurd, the label bridges past and present: Scandi sensibility meets Australian soil, minimal intervention meets mindful precision.

Rooted in family tradition, the story traces back to Dan’s great-grandparents, who grew grapes and stone fruit in South Australia, their harvests carted to the Barossa Valley in an old Bedford truck. Today, Dan continues that lineage through a modern lens — crafting wines that reflect connection, sustainability, and the quiet beauty of simplicity.

Sigurd’s philosophy is grounded in respect: for the vines, the soil, and the rhythms of nature. In the vineyard, Dan has been trialling a no-spray, no-cultivation approach since 2014 — reducing inputs, waste, and water use while enhancing natural fertility. This philosophy carries through to every bottle, where minimal intervention meets expressive detail.

From delicate Clare Valley Chenin Blanc to textured Grenache and Syrah blends, each wine reflects Dan’s pursuit of balance, honesty, and purity — wines that speak softly but linger long after the glass is empty.

Heritage in every vine. Progress in every pour.
