about the brand
Just a Glass wines are produced from grapes sourced within Victoria, from the coast of the Mornington Peninsula and inland of Yarra Valley through to Rutherglen and the Murray Darling. Each variety is carefully curated to select the very best wine which, is then bottled in the Otway’s of regional Victoria.
Victoria boasts 21 wine regions, all diverse and unique. According to Wine Australia in Northwest Victoria, the region has a very temperate climate, almost like the Mediterranean. It has the Murray River to contribute to the climate, which supplies the perfect nourishment to vineyards. Melbourne and surrounding areas like the Yarra Valley are known for their cool climates, very different from the Northwest region. This region has longer and drier autumns. This climate has a tendency to produce sweeter, concentrated fruit flavours.
We are so proud to be working with the very best growers and producers in Victoria to bring the Just a Glass brand to life. We hope you enjoy it.
meet the founder
Amber Duggan is no stranger to the land that produces our premium wines. Growing up on a farm in the Victorian Otway region, Amber remembers learning valuable lessons of nurturing the land and appreciating its produce. With her family’s long agricultural history, fuelled by passion for local grown produce, she was inspired to bring her idea to fruition. She decided to bring to life a product that showcases Victorian winemaking and offers wine lovers a curated wine-by-the-glass experience.
Amber’s connection to the winemaking process started as a teenager, where she worked on weekends at a neighbouring vineyard, among the winemaking team. Working in the bottling room she grew fascinated by the process – while her young hands made quick work turning bottles, her ears became attuned to the winemaker’s discussions about their craft. Her palate and appreciation for wine tasting came much later, but the fire had already been lit.
And in 2020, Just a Glass Australia was born – a celebration of Victoria’s grape-growing regions, catering for those who appreciate a glass of quality wine.
