Printhie is owned and operated by the Swift family, consisting of Jim and Ruth and sons Ed and Dave. It was the inspiration of Jim and Ruth in 1996 to enter the wine industry with the planting of 12Ha of grapevines. The most suitable site was selected from the 500Ha property and managed by Jim and Ruth until the return of Ed and Dave in the early-2000s. At this time the vineyard area was expanded to 33Ha and a winery was built for the 2004 vintage changing the dynamic of the business from grape growing to wine production.
