The Rutherglen region is situated in the far north-east corner of Victoria near the Murray River border with New South Wales in Australia. Winemaking has been a family tradition in Rutherglen since the 1850s and today fourth, fifth and sixth generation winemakers continue to produce outstanding and award-winning wines.
The climatic conditions give the wines of Rutherglen a unique regional character. Protected by the Great Dividing Range, Rutherglen is blessed with cool nights, warm days and gloriously long, dry autumns which provide the ideal conditions for a broad range of varieties and styles.
The mild and sunny continental climate combined with the rich, loamy soils are the perfect ingredients for creating the fortified styles of wine the region is renowned for. These wines are unique to the Rutherglen region and are so rich and opulent they are often referred to as ‘liquid gold’.
