Printhie Wines are grown and made in the Orange Region of New South Wales, Australia, just a few hours west of Sydney. The winery was founded by Jim Swift and his young family, who took a 100 year old cattle ranch by the horns, and in 5 years, have built one of the regions premier wineries.

The winery is located in the foothills of Mount Canobolas, an extinct volcano that lends it rich soil to the development and ripening of the high altitude grapes grown in the region. The cool climate allows grapes to mature slowly and retain a fruitier complexity that bodes well in the produced wines. The winery, named after the farm on which it stood, was originally thought to have been named after the much present Perentie lizard, the largest goanna in Australia.

Printhie Wines is now succeeding in wine shows as a producer of quality wines, matching it's bold namesake. With recent medal success in the USA ([Houston Livestock and Rodeo, 2009]) the writing is on the wall. This is a wine with Altitude.
