A New Chapter

Will Byron

Founder, winemaker & co-owner

Will Byron is the founder, winemaker and co-owner of Onannon, which he established in 2008 with Kaspar Hermann and Sam Middleton. He built his experience with Chardonnay and Pinot Noir at Coldstream Hills and Stonier, alongside harvests in Burgundy and Central Otago at Domaine David Duband, Domaine Blain-Gagnard and Maude.

In 2021, Will made Onannon his sole focus, working exclusively with fruit from the Mornington Peninsula. The introduction of single vineyard wines in 2023 brought a more detailed exploration into the sub regionality across all sites.

Pete Finnegan

Co-owner & custodian of Robinson Vineyard

Pete became co-owner of Onannon in 2026, beginning a new chapter for this beloved estate and a new home at Robinson Vineyard in Tuerong.

Pete is an Emergency Physician at The Alfred Emergency & Trauma Centre in Melbourne, having moved to Australia from Ireland in 2011. Alongside his medical career, Pete has a long-standing interest in business.

Robinson Vineyard, one of the Mornington Peninsula’s most respected sites, was a natural fit, continuing the stewardship begun by Hugh Robinson.
