We are 6Ft6 - A giant of our time.
Let us take a moment to tell you a story. A story about bravery, about a giant of their time, about a legend. A man who stood tall at six foot six, and who inspired the adventurous name and spirit of us: 6Ft6 wines.
In 1803, a convict named William Buckley - the man who stood tall at six foot six - pulled off a daring escape from the British, and landed at the Port Phillip area. Stranded, but free, he came across a local indigenous tribe, and the tale goes that he survived the next 32 years living with them. These days they call William Buckley a legend - a giant of his time. Here at 6Ft6, we just know him as Will, the guy who inspired the “Pinot for the people”, and the guy who stood tall at 6Ft6.
The motto of 6Ft6 is simple: life is too short to settle for ordinary, so we make the stylish, savvy, go-to wine for good times and adventures. From natural party starters to sophisticated showstoppers - from “Pinot for the people” to Shiraz, Pinot Gris, Sauvignon Blanc, Crisp White, Rosé and Prosecco - we’ve got it all. Our premium, cool climate drops are class acts at a price that’s never out of reach.
Whatever your occasion or celebration, we’ll always leave you #feeling6Ft6.
The home of 6Ft6
The Geelong wine region also tells a story; it started as the first wine growing region in Australia, but was ravaged by the terrible disease Philoxera in the 1870’s, and, similarly to our Will - it had to rebuild. Over time it has done just that, and with over 50 producers now creating some awesome wines, it truly is one of the hidden gems of Australian wine regions!
Home for 6Ft6 is at the Austins & Co. vineyard, in Geelong’s Moorabool Valley sub-region found between Geelong and Ballarat. In keeping with the historical adventurous spirit of 6Ft6, some 20,000 years ago the Moorabool Valley actually sat on the bottom of the sea... It was only after 1000 years of volcanic activity that it became land again. Land that now offers perfect grape growing soil which, when coupled with the cool Mediterranean climate of the Moorabool Valley, provides perfect conditions for our 6Ft6 grapes to grown into wines that are sure to bring out that 6Ft6 spirit in us all.
