Contentious Character Winery is a renowned brand located in Wamboin, New South Wales, known for producing some of the best and most elegant wines in the Canberra district. With first plantings in 1990, our vineyard and winery have become a staple in the region. As a cool-climate winery and restaurant, we offer a unique experience for wine enthusiasts and food lovers.

Our boutique Australian wines are made with grapes grown on our own vineyard, ensuring the highest quality and distinct flavors. Whether you visit our cellar door in Wamboin or order online through our shop and Wine Club, we provide a wide selection of premium wines that will impress every palate. Situated in the picturesque hills of Canberra, our winemaking capitalizes on the region's unique weather conditions, characterized by hot sunny days and cool nights.

This creates the perfect environment for producing elegant and nuanced wines, distinguishing them from the typical Australian style. At Contentious Character, we are committed to preserving the legacy of the Lambert Vineyard, known for its award-winning boutique wines. Our selection of limited edition Founder's Museum and Founder's Reserve wines showcases the complex and mature character that has made us famous.
