Stonefish International was established in 2000 by Peter Papanikitas, a respected wine industry professional with more than four decades of experience. Throughout his distinguished career with leading global wine companies including Lindemans, Penfolds, and Cinzano, Peter developed extensive expertise in premium wine production, brand development, and international market expansion.
Prior to founding Stonefish International, Peter established Estate Wine Distributors in Australia, building a strong foundation in national wine distribution and consumer market insight. This experience, combined with a deep understanding of global wine trends, led to the creation of Stonefish Wines.

The portfolio consistently earns accolades at respected domestic and international wine competitions, reflecting the company’s commitment to craftsmanship, regional expression, and exceptional value. Each wine is crafted to deliver quality, consistency, and authenticity, hallmarks of Australia’s world, class wine industry.
What we at Stonefish International strive to emphasise with every bottle we produce is that our brands are more than just that- they epitomise the relaxed Australian lifestyle.
