lou miranda estate

Lou Miranda Estate, a family-owned boutique winery, is located in the renowned Barossa Valley, South Australia. Established by Lou Miranda with the support of his wife Val and daughters Lisa and Victoria, the estate produces premium quality wines under the Leone and Lou Miranda Estate brands. The family’s commitment to excellence is reflected in their rigorous approach to vineyard management and handcrafted winemaking practices.

The estate spans 100 acres across four sites in the Barossa Valley, with vines dating back to 1897. These historic vineyards are cultivated with care, adhering to Lou’s father’s philosophy that “you can only make great wine with great fruit.” This dedication ensures the production of exceptional wines that embody the unique characteristics of their terroir.

Lou Miranda Estate’s portfolio includes the super-premium Old Vine Shiraz, sourced from century-old vines, and the diverse Leone range, named in honour of Lou’s mother, Caterina Leone. The winery’s offerings showcase the rich flavors and complexity of Barossa’s terroir, appealing to both connoisseurs and casual wine enthusiasts alike.

The Miranda family’s journey began in 1938 when Francesco ‘Pop’ Miranda emigrated from Italy to Griffith, New South Wales, and established a wine estate. His son Lou continued this legacy, combining traditional values with innovative winemaking techniques. Today, Lisa, Angela, and Victoria bring their skills to the family business, ensuring the continuation of their father’s passion and dedication to quality.

Lou Miranda Estate is not just about producing great wine; it’s about sharing the Miranda family’s story and their love for wine and food. Visitors can experience this firsthand through their cellar door, vineyard tours, and masterclasses, all delivered with the warm hospitality that the family is known for.
