Rutherglen Estate

Rutherglen Estate

The famous Rutherglen region in north-east Victoria state is also famous for its “stickies”, but the eponymous Estates, the region’s biggest vineyard owner, also makes a comprehensive range of dry and red wines. Whilst Shiraz and Sauvignon Blanc get a look-in, Rutherglen Estates is justly renowned for championing overlooked or experimental grape varieties, including such oddities as Savagnin (the Jura grape variety, not Sauvignon Blanc) and Durif.

The five different vineyards owned by the Estate  here are high, inducing a longer ripening period and a freshness and intensity of flavour.  The founding Shelley family’s original 1880s vineyard site today provides all the grapes for its Shelley Block wine a, a blend of Viognier, Marsanne and Roussanne.
