Costas, Duxton snap up Littore winery and vineyards

The investment and development arm of the Costa family, the country’s biggest growers of fresh fruit and vegetables, has acquired the Littore Wine Group’s Jindalee Estate Winery in the Moorabool Valley near Geelong. The 23-hectare Ballan Road winery was acquired by Costa Asset Management (CAM) from receivers Ferriers Hodgson. The family-run Littore Wine Group, one of the country’s biggest independent wine producers, was forced into receivership by Rabobank in October last year.
