About Corymbia

The Mann name is somewhat of a significant one in Australian wine circles. In fact, it’s about as storied a moniker as there is, up there with Schubert and O’Shea. Jack Mann’s most famous creation, the game-changing Houghton’s White Burgundy was an enduring classic, which he made for 51 consecutive vintages. And while that wine has become a reliably good and economical bottling, rather than an aspirational one, its origins are significant. In an era dominated by fortified wines, that first Swan Valley chenin blanc (skin-contact for a day or so, too) topped the open class at Royal Melbourne in 1937, thus changing the wine landscape in this country for good.

Fast forward, and Mann’s grandson Rob is the sixth generation in the family to make wine for a living. Rob’s wife, Genevieve, doesn’t quite have the same ancestral connection to wine, but she’s equally focused on pushing that family name into ever-higher orbits: “Wine is in our blood. We’re husband and wife, the heads and hearts of Corymbia, and part of one of the oldest winemaking families in Australia.”
