Natillie Johnston aka Tillie J is a Yarra Valley native who's travelled the world to pursue her passion for wine. She's worked with some of the most iconic wineries in Australia and overseas. In 2019, she returned to her home region and launched her own label, Tillie J Wines, with the support of the "Young Winemakers Program" at No.7 Healesville.

Tillie J manages an acre of pinot noir vines at the Yarraloch Vineyard in Gruyere, where she practices organic and sustainable viticulture. She also makes chardonnay and rosé, and experiments with new varieties and styles. Her wines are expressive, elegant, and fruit-forward, reflecting her love for cool-climate regions and minimal intervention.
