The company listed on the ASX in 1992 and progressively acquired vineyard, production and distribution assets, including McGuigan Winery (1993), Broken Back Winery (1994), Hermitage Road Winery (1996), Simeon Wines (2002), Miranda Wines (2003) and Nepenthe (2007). The merger with Simeon Wines created a company with six wineries, production capacity of 127M litres per annum and management of 3,860 hectares of vineyards. In January 2008, McGuigan Simeon re-branded as Australian Vintage Limited.[7]
