Redbank’s badge, the Anvil, is a sign of times gone by when early settlers handcrafted their farming implements with the heat of the blazing forge and the strength of the anvil. This strength was apparent in the hard working migrants who established a thriving farming community in the rugged High Country of North East Victoria.

Today a small, select “family” of growers, some direct descendants of the original pioneers, produce premium fruit for the wines of Redbank. Vineyards that are lashed by blizzardly cold winter winds and buried in snow for part of the year emerge at harvest with grapes of the highest quality that enable the Redbank winemakers to produce superb cool climate wines.

The winemakers and viticulturists work closely with a dedicated "family" of carefully selected independent growers. These small family-run vineyards offer unique and subtle soil and altitude differences that provide our winemakers with an opportunity to create distinctive wines reflecting the finest attributes of the regions. Our fruit for the Long Paddock and King Valley wines is sourced from high-altitude vineyards in Victoria’s high country, from the Alpine, King and Ovens Valleys and other premium Victorian regions.

The magnificent 15 hectare Myrrhee Ridge vineyard has been added to the Redbank portfolio. This uniquely located vineyard in the mountain range which overlooks the township of Whitfield in the King Valley has supplied premium fruit for Redbank wines since it was established 10 years ago.

The flagship Shiraz, The Anvil, is crafted from fruit from the Beechworth region. Beechworth has long been recognised as a classic Shiraz region. The individual vineyard from which these grapes are harvested contains dark red clay soils, and this, combined with an ideal climate for this variety, produces a wonderfully stylish and rich red wine. These are two very different wine growing regions.
