Mulline Vintners is a collaboration between 2 Bens focused on producing premium wines from the Geelong Region, Victoria, Australia. Collectively, Ben Mullen + Ben Hine are Mulline Vintners.
Ben Mullen is a qualified winemaker and viticulturist. Ben grew up just east of the Barossa Valley region in South Australia. After graduating from secondary school, Ben enrolled in business and marketing at Uni. Concurrently, Ben began working in the wine industry at cellar doors in the Barossa. He promptly decided that wine was much more fun than marketing and enrolled in a Bachelor of Viticulture and Oenology at Adelaide University.
Since then, Ben has had a whirlwind career which has seen him making wine all over the globe. Of note, Ben has worked at Torbreck (Barossa Valley, South Australia), Yarra Yering (Yarra Valley, Victoria), Oakridge (Yarra Valley, Victoria), Domaine Dujac (Burgundy, France), Craggy Range (Hawke’s Bay, New Zealand) and Clyde Park (Bannockburn, Geelong, Victoria).
With this stellar background, it was a matter of time before Ben Mullen decided to spread his wings and make wine under his own label.
Ben Mullen is the Winemaker at Mulline Vintners.
Born in South Australia as well, Ben Hine began his working career in hospitality. His passion for food, wine and hospitality has endured since.
After finishing study, Ben Hine has worked in law and is now a senior lawyer working in the financial services and risk industry. With that background, he has a head for business and knows a thing or two about drinking wine.
Ben Hine is the Business Manager at Mulline Vintners.
