The Cofield Family has been treading the vineyards of Rutherglen for generations.
Frank Cofield, the great grandfather of current owner Damien Cofield, started working at St Leonards Vineyard in 1909.
Damien’s father Max also worked most of his life around the vineyards of Rutherglen having worked for Seppelts as well as All Saints. In 1985, at age 45, Max decided it was time to set up his own winery, and so began Cofield Wines. In 1999, Damien completed his Wine Science Degree from Charles Sturt University. Damien has been hands-on at the winery since then, following in his father’s footsteps. Damien took over the running of the business after Max’s retirement in 2007.
