Treasury Wine Estates

The origins of the Australian wine multinational, which is now one of the largest in the world, lie in the founding of a number of historically important wineries. These were mainly Lindeman's 1843 and Penfolds 1844 in Australia, and Beringer 1876 in California's Napa Valley (see there). For more recent times, the German-born oenologist Wolfgang Blass (*1934) must also be mentioned. He emigrated to Australia's Barossa Valley in 1961 and went into business for himself in 1966. Wolf Blass Winery self-employed. Subsequently, he built up an empire. In 1986, he acquired 50% of the Australian Bottling Company, including the sparkling wine production. By merging with the Mildara group in the Coonawarra area, the company was created in 1991. Mildara Blass with a good dozen Australian wineries and cellars.

Treasury Wine Estates - Marken (Weine)

Foundation of the present company

In 1996, this company was taken over by the Australian brewery giant Foster's, which also bought the Californian group in 2000. Beringer Vineyards group. This meant that many Californian wineries were now added to the group. In 2001, the Beringer Blass Wine Estates group emerged from this, which was renamed Foster's Wine Estates in 2005 through the purchase of the multinational Southcorp. After poor business results, Foster's CEO Trevor O'Hoy resigned in 2008. In 2010, shareholders approved the separation of the beer and wine businesses. The separation of the wine division was realised with the foundation of the independent, listed company Treasury Wine Estates in May 2011. Tim Ford has served as CEO since 2019, and there are head offices in Southbank-Melbourne/Victoria (Australia) and Napa/California (USA). Over 13,000 hectares of vineyards are managed worldwide, from which 35 million cases of wine are produced annually.
