Barbera is a medium bodied wine with a deep red colour, originating from northern Italy. Our Barbera displays notes of cherries and red berries, supported by a good natural acidity which the variety is know for.

Durif is ideally suited to Rutherglen, as it is a late ripening variety, requiring a warm climate and an extended ripening period to develop its full flavour and structural potential. Durif has been grown in Rutherglen for over a century. The particular Rutherglen ’clone’ has developed an intensity and complexity of aroma, flavour and structure that is not seen in any other region of the world, justifying Durif’s recognition as Rutherglen’s icon variety.Rutherglen Estates Durif has an incredible depth of colour and flavour. Intense varietal berry and stewed cherry notes, mixed fruit spice, licorice, chocolate and cedar from elegant oak enhancement.

The perfect red wine for all cuisines. Think aromas of cherry and strawberry, followed by savoury bramble fruit on the palate and delicate dusty tannins to finish. This is a smooth balanced wine for any occasion.

Crisp and fresh acidity are the hallmarks of this Fighting Gully Road Rose that is made from Sangiovese grapes. It is barrel fermented and aged on lees, making this wine with a deliciously savoury dry finish.

Match with foods with tomato base such as pasta or pizza to complement the fruit acidity and savoury flavours. Grown in our Buckland Valley vineyards and not often found in Australia - worth a try!

pen-fermented, 35% whole bunches, 2% viognier skins. Matured in 600L thick staved demi-muids. The bones are strong, the flavours are fine. There's nothing brutish about this wine, it's not rocket-propelled, and yet it pushes firmly for the stars. It tastes of graphite and black coffee, black cherries and white pepper, though what you really notice here is the wine's supple, spicy insistence and its fine web of tannin. This wine is going places.

It was a balmy warm evening in late summer and the moon was revealing its presence. Andrew rings! Hey, George, the moon is really big and low tonight, can you go out and take a photo? It looks huge. Im looking at it from the west side over the top of the vinesA dark deep red colour incorporating intense fruity notes of mulberries and cherry. A touch of white pepper spice and a hint of violet. A generous length paired with chalky tannins.

During the 1920's, Clydesdale horses were used to distribute water from the main canal to the surrounding landscape of the Riverina. Stables were placed on the corner of Apostles and Moon Roads and at night the Apostles birds would roost in the stables, sharing the horses' food and bed for the evening. Today the Apostles Wines Estate is nestled here and the canal is still the region's lifeline. Our wonderful Durif grapes thrive here, surrounded by native Saltbush. It marries well with Osso Bucco, rich cheeses, steak or a Sunday roast.

This family owned vineyard and orchard lies on the edge of Yackandandah Valley in North East Victoria. The shiraz grapes have been sourced from both Rutherglen and Allan's Flat, so combining the flavour of both growing regions. The fruit leaves a peppery aftertaste on the palate.
