Accolade Completes Acquisition of Grant Burge Wines

Accolade Wines has completed its acquisition of Grant Burge Wines, including the Grant Burge brand, Burge and Rathbone Fine Wine Merchants business and Krondorf Winery.

Michael East, Accolade Wines General Manager Asia Pacific, said the company is pleased to now have a base in the Barossa.

“We have a major historical presence in McLaren Vale through Hardys, in WA through Houghton, in Margaret River through Brookland Valley, in the Clare Valley through

Leasingham and Tasmania via Bay of Fires. Grant Burge and the Barossa were a natural next step.”

Mr. East also said that Accolade has plans to grow the Grant Burge brand even further through its global distribution network, a decision Grant Burge was also pleased with, who will remain with the company as Brand Ambassador and will also be involved in continuing to supply premium Barossa Valley fruit to the business.

The companies announced in December that they had reached a conditional agreement for Accolade Wines to purchase Grant Burge. This news recognises the completion of the conditional agreement.
