Once upon a time,
everything was organic
Many years ago in the quiet village of Messiani, Kozani in Greece, a man named Kiriakos took a chance – armed with a little knowledge and a big dream, he planted the first grapevines that would shape generations to come. His son, Terry, learned the art of growing grapes beside him, through tough times, war, and hardship. Even when food was scarce and money scarcer, the grapes still grew.After surviving World War II and the Greek Civil War, Terry and his wife Kiriaki sought a new beginning, migrating to Australia in 1953. They settled in Melbourne, working long hours in factories to build a better life for their family. Though the days were long and their pockets light, their hearts were full and there was always time to gather around the table with food, wine, and love.
In 1969, opportunity knocked again, this time in Virginia, South Australia.Terry, Kiriaki, and their three children bought a plot of fertile land, and five years later, they planted their first vines: Shiraz and Cabernet Sauvignon, inspired by the methods of their homeland.
In 1993, their eldest son Ken expanded the vineyard to 140 acres, adding new varietals like Sauvignon Blanc, Petit Verdot, Merlot, and Pinot Grigio. In 2005, he saw an opportunity to do something different, something better, and began converting the vineyards to organic practices. Three years later, they were officially certified organic, and Pure Vision was born.
Today, Pure Vision is proudly operated by Ken and his three daughters – Jackie, Teresa, and Natalie – who carry on the legacy with the same dedication, integrity, and love that started it all.
Driven by changing consumer preferences and innovative wine-making techniques, the team has now expanded their traditional wine offerings to represent the fascinating evolution in the wine industry, that is, mid-strength and non-alcoholic wines.From vine to wine, our family’s journey is poured into every bottle.
At the heart of Pure Vision is more than just a vineyard. It’s the story of resilience, family, and the commitment to working together to achieve excellent results and offering premium quality wines, is at the heart of it all.
