In 1966 Wolf registered the business name Bilyara, the aboriginal word meaning Eaglehawk. Wolf produced his first vintage of 250 dozen in the same year. Through 1969 to 1973 Wolf worked as Manager and Winemaker for Tolleys where he made his first significant impact on the local wine industry with development of red wine styles. He was considered one of the leaders of the new generation of Australian winemakers, creating individual wines of various styles under his own label.
