Whistler Wines

Grape growing has been part of the Pfeiffer family way of life for four generations, beginning with Albert Heinrich Pfeiffer, who owned a vineyard in the Riverland region of South Australia. Hubert Irving Pfeiffer soon followed in his father’s footsteps moving his family to a vineyard in Loxton. Hubert enjoyed wandering through the vines with his son Martin, and training both the vines and his young pupil, just as his father before him.

In 1982 Martin & Sally purchased Whistler’s Heysen Estate property. Initially, the land was used for crop & sheep farming, while Martin ran Penfold’s vineyards. Over the next 15 years 3000 trees were hand planted by the family, designating the future vineyard blocks.

In the 2000's Whistler Wines gained recognition after winning multiple awards including “Best White Wine in Show” for the 2000 Estate Semillon at the Barossa Wine Show and “World’s Top 10 Shiraz” for the 2006 Estate Shiraz from Winestate Awards in 2009.

In 2020 Whistler Wines was named “Best Small Cellar Door” in the Barossa Valley by GT Wine Magazine. Martin & Sally retired as son Sam Pfeiffer took on the business.
