Welcome
Mulyan Wines
The Family
The Fagan family has owned and operated the Mulyan property since 1886. Peter and Jenni's sons, Ed and James are the fifth generation to farm this land.
The story of Mulyan and the Fagan family stems back to when John Henry Fagan purchased the property from the Redfern family. Prior to the purchase of the property, John Fagan lived in nearby Carcoar and was a coach driver for one of the local lines.
In 1862 John Fagan was held up at the famous Escort Rock on the outskirts of Eugowra.
It was a lucky day, and one that remained etched in John's mind as he retired from driving to purchase Mulyan for a quieter life.
John Fagan was immortalised by the famous Australian impressionist Tom Roberts in his painting 'Bailed up'. John is seen in the painting with the horses reined in under the watchful eye of Ben Hall.
Whilst the Fagans have moved on to a quieter life, there remains a keen interest in travel, possibly coming from John's exploits.
With trips through Europe, Peter and Jenni noticed similarities between the soils of the Rhone and Mulyan. Further investigation, and a keen interest in wine was one of the catalysts that helped spur the planting of the vineyard.
Overseeing the planting was a bronze statue of the roman god Mercury which now stands in the gardens of the house. Mercury was brought back from Italy by Peter's Grandmother, also a keen traveller. Being the messenger of the Gods and father of Bacchus, the God of wine, the purchase was almost prophetic.
