Looking Forward

While China lifted its wine tariffs in March 2024, industry oversupply persisted. Two of FABAL's major grape customers, Accolade Wines and Pernod Ricard Winemakers, merged to form one of the world's largest wine groups, significantly reducing their demand for our red grape varieties.

That April, our long-standing Group CEO Chris Day retired due to ill health.

In response to market contraction, we've launched a vineyard removal service in 2025, helping growers exit the industry or transition to alternative crops. We remain committed to securing the best outcomes for grape sales across our estates while strengthening our reputation for premium fruit production.

Our Values

Our Goals

FABAL's strategic goal is to develop and build premium quality food and beverage products from Australian sourced fruit. We seek to brand these products for Australian and international consumption. The aim is to have simple, authentic, natural and environmentally conscious products that sustain the clean and green image of Australia.

Our Culture

FABAL has been developing its business since 1982. While we employ modern management techniques, there are four simple rules by which we govern:

  1. Family is always first

  2. Do your job to the best of your ability

  3. Don't let your team mate down

  4. Do the right thing

Our History

FABAL is a family owned group and the original four families still remain owners today. Family ownership continues to be the keystone after 42 years. Our goal is to produce premium and authentic Australian food and wine from estates managed by our team of experienced professionals.
