Our Review
The Brand family story starts with the arrival of Eric Brand in Coonawarra in 1950. He married Nancy Redman and purchased a 24ha block from the Redman family, relinquishing his job as a baker and becoming a grapegrower. It was not until ’66 that the first Brand’s Laira wine was made. The family sold the Brand’s Laira winery to McWilliam’s Wines in '94, with Eric’s son Jim Brand staying on as chief winemaker until he passed away in '05. Today Brand & Sons is run by Sam Brand, the 4th generation of this family, which has played a major role in Coonawarra for over 70 years. -JAMES HALLIDAY
