WINEMAKERS OF RUTHERGLEN
History
From Generation to Generation
It has been said that while Rutherglen was founded as a gold rush town, the real wealth existed in the few inches of topsoil, made rich and fertile by the Murray River and Lake Moodemere.
For more than 160 years winemakers and their families have called Rutherglen home and this special layer of dirt has produced vineyards and internationally acclaimed wines, from fortifieds and complex reds to new styles and varietals by a new and adventurous generation of makers and minds, staking their claim on the luscious soil.

How to Find Us

There are still a few leaves clinging to the vines, but everyone and everything is quickly succumbing to the winter season. Perfect Durif weather? We agree.
