Chalmers is a renowned brand in the Australian wine industry, known for its exceptional nursery services and high-quality grapevines. Established in 1989, Chalmers Nurseries rapidly became one of Australia’s largest wholesale vine nurseries, specializing in grafted vines sourced from Italy. The Chalmers family played a pivotal role in introducing approximately 70 Italian grapevine clones, significantly contributing to the diversification and sustainability of Australian viticulture.

Operating now from their boutique nursery in Merbein, Chalmers continues to supply grafted vines, rootlings, and cuttings, primarily of their own imported varieties, while also accommodating requests for other varieties. Their commitment to superior clonal selections, precise rootstock matching, and maintaining vine health integrity distinguishes them in the market.

With source blocks established in Heathcote and Merbein, Chalmers has been instrumental in improving the quality of Australian wines over the past two decades. Their focus on sustainable viticulture and quality planting material makes them a trusted partner for winemakers across the country.
