Bidja Wines

This First Nations-owned wine brand is a collaboration between Buller Wines, Bevan Mailman, Kade McDonald, James Stephens and winemaker Craig Cromelin, the latter a proud Wiradjuri and Ngiyampaa man, who in ’98 co-founded Australia’s first Indigenous-owned and operated vineyard, Murrin Bridge Wines. The Ngiyampaa word for ‘friend’, Bidja’s range consists of a handful of varietal wines made with predominantly King Valley fruit. -ANNA WEBSTER
