Rutherglen Estates Wines

Our winemakers use both traditional and modern winemaking techniques to produce a premium range of fresh fruit driven and varietally distinct wines with true regional character.

From our first vintage release of a single wine, a Durif in 2001, our range has developed enormously, to now to include almost twenty different wines, varying in style and appeal. While all our wines are consistent in their high quality, each displays the personality of our vineyards, our winemakers and importantly the vintage in which they were produced. With such a large range of fruit available from our own vineyards, our winemakers have the opportunity to experiment and to take advantage of special parcels, regularly adding different wines to our core range.

SANGIPOP
Something fun for both wine-lovers and those who never though wine would be their ‘cup of tea.’ This is a delicious berry bomb of Sangiovese flavor, cherry and spice, with a hint of fizz, a touch of sweetness, and less than 9% alchohol. Bottled in half bottles, it is a perfect and portable entertainer, particularly when served over ice with a sprig of mint!

THE ‘COLOURS’ RANGE
As our introductory range of dry table wines, the ‘Colours’ range of wines delivers a WHITE, a RED and a ROSE wine that are fresh, flavoursome, very well balanced and not nearly as simple as their names suggest. These wines are each blended from two of the region’s most appropriate varieties, have had minimal or no oak treatment and while they are styled to drink rather that talk about, their quality belies their very affordable price.

THE ESTATE RANGE
The range from which all our others have evolved. Our Estate wines are a classic, premium, and innovative range of table wines produced from traditional Mediterranean varieties, with particular focus on those from Italy and Rhone Valley. All wines in this range, except for our fresh Marsanne Viognier blend, Hungarian or American oak barrels for up to twelve months, selected for the variety and the vintage.

THE RENAISSANCE RANGE
Our renaissance range of wines celebrate the texture, intensity and beauty of our natural environment. They are small volume, special Reserve wines that have been handcrafted from the best fruit our vineyard produces, and matured in the finest oak barrels. They herald a new perspective on the ideal suitability of the chosen varieties to the Rutherglen region. Our beautiful label images are individually selected to reflect the depth and personality of each wine.

FORTIFIEDS/SWEETS AND SPARKLING
A must for a region with such a ‘sweet’ reputation, we produce Muscat every year and blend out Non-Vintage release to be a fresh, clean and youthful Rutherglen Muscat style. Each year we experiment with different sweet wine styles and release only those we believe to be of premium quality. Sparkling red wines are also a Rutherglen specialty and we plan to release our own in the near future.
