In 2005 Michael Papps and Susan Papps (née Yelland) chose to forge a path as first generation Barossa Valley winemakers. At first making wines for family and friends, they established Yelland & Papps soon after.

Yelland & Papps source fruit from a diverse range of vineyards scattered throughout the Barossa Valley. Their second take came in 2010 with the purchase of their Nuraip Road vineyard just outside Nuriootpa. The winery experiments with new varieties, such as Vermentino, Barbera and Primitivo, while maintaining respect for the Barossa Valley's traditional varieties Shiraz, Grenache and Mataro. At Yelland & Papps sustainability is to the fore.

Yelland & Papps Limited Cuvée wines are small parcels released only in selected vintages. The Single Vineyard range follows, Greenock Shiraz the standout. The Y&P series is next in line.
