ABOUT MELBOURNE GIN COMPANY
From the world’s most liveable city comes its very own Melbourne Gin Company. Established in 2012, MGC sets out to create gin of flavour, character and distinction.
In 2009, driven by a fascination with the notion of the unattainable ideal drink and a love for Gin Martinis, it occurred to winemaker Andrew Marks that he should set about making his own gin. The idea was so audacious and scary that he could not refuse the challenge, realising a dream and turning a thought into a reality.
At the time Andrew was sharing his inner-city apartment with a surgeon. The two would celebrate Martini Tuesdays solving the problems of the world in many of Melbourne’s bars. One day while walking down Gertrude St in Fitzroy the name Melbourne Gin Company popped into his head and the brand was born.
Thus commenced a journey into alchemy. Andrew adopted a winemaking approach to distillation by extracting the flavour of botanicals individually to understand the different characteristics and tastes that they offered. While the MGC was established in 2012 it took a year of product development using this method to produce the first MGC release, Melbourne Dry Gin in 2013.
Andrew continued the journey into alchemy, exploring different production methods for making gin. As a result in 2018 MGC introduced Single Shot, a gin that unlike Melbourne Dry Gin, is made in one single distillation run.
MGC was conceived in Collingwood, Melbourne and is made in the Yarra Valley at Gembrook Hill Vineyard.
The Melbourne Gin Company is an independent distillery with an artisan production approach. Our gin range is hand crafted, batch distilled and non chill filtered.

Online Shop | Cuvees.com - Buy Wines & We Deliver!
Since 2009, we've been busy delivering all sorts of wines (and other booze) to weddings, house parties, corporate events and to almost all of the most prestigious hotels and restaurant groups in Hong Kong and Macau!
We thought we'd introduce ourselves a little more here, in a not-too-subtle, self-centered blog post ... within our own website.
We operate out of a 30,000 sqf facility in Aberdeen, which we call our office / lounge / warehouse. Here you'll find a small, young-ish, but dedicated team who tries very hard to make sure our clients (whether they are private, corporate or on-trade customers) get all the attention they need. We're not perfect, but we do our best ;)
Our state-of-the-art warehouse facility is kept at 13 degrees Celsius and at 70% humidity, so as to make sure all of the our booze gets a perfect cellar environment until they leave our home and into the bellies of those lucky and discerning customers who choose Cuvees.com to stock up.
Since we manage our own warehouse and delivery team, we are able to sometimes offer same-day delivery (so long as orders are placed prior to 12 noon and these conditions are met).
We mostly sell wines, but over the years, we have expanded our product range to include loads of Japanese sake, Japanese whisky, and a little bit of Scotch, grappa, tequila and other intoxicating beverages. With over 1,000 SKU's and over 200,000 bottles in storage, I'm pretty sure we're able to supply the booze you need. Most importantly, we aren't a reseller (we import and distribute 99% of our products).
So you see? We are legit. Shop now!
Did we mention we also have cellar storage for private collectors, which comes with access to a lounge? Here are some photos:
