Proudly family owned – making high quality, sustainable wines
‘Growing with the land. Savouring our lifestyle’ is what Gill Estate embodies. Generational farmers from day one, it all started when Billa Gill left India in the 1970s to pursue a better life, ending up in Australia in 2005 with an almond property in Red Cliffs which covered 32 Acres.
Since then, their philosophy to not only work the land but to grow with it, has led the family to found a winery that’s dedicated to producing delicious, sustainable wines that respect the region near the Murray River. At the helm of winemaking is Janel Carruthers who believes in quality fruit, harvested at optimum maturity, delivered to the winery with minimal intervention. Her wines are exemplars of balance and offer genuine value for money.
VinAccessGlobal and Gill Estate have been working together since 2021. The successful partnership has already resulted in gaining new customers across Singapore, UK and South East Asia.

A few words from Alison, VinAccessGlobal Founder
“My history with the land that now belongs to Gill Estate goes back twenty-five years, to when I started working for the company that owned Deakin Estate near Mildura. Fast forward a couple of decades and the new owners have undertaken further development of the vineyard following the principles of sustainable grape farming. The beautiful new brands produced by Gill Estate offer exceptional quality captured in stunning packaging.”
A few words from Ajay Gothwal, Sales Manager at Gill Estate
“VinAccess has been instrumental in successfully launching Gill Estate wines into Singapore, UK & South East Asia. Their deep understanding of local markets and the diverse team based across these places is very helpful. Their established network of importers, distributors and retail partners gave us immediate access that would have taken years to develop independently.”
