The vital ingredient in Rutherglen’s climate is the normally long, warm and dry Autumn ripening period.

This enables our grapes to slowly and consistently ripen to maturity, producing the true varietal flavours so evident in our reds and whites.

Our grapes can also be confidently left to linger on the vine and develop the high natural sugar levels and complexity required to produce the unique Muscat and Tokay of Rutherglen.
With the range of grape varieties, we employ different vineyard management techniques to maximize each variety’s potential. Scott Henry and Geneva Double Curtain are just a few of the trellising systems in use to vary fruit exposure and ripening processes.

Our white varieties are Chardonnay, Semillon, Riesling, Trebbiano and Pedro Ximenez. Red varieties include Shiraz, the rare Durif, Cabernet Sauvignon, Ruby Cabernet and Malbec.

Our world renowned Rutherglen Muscaterif" size="2">Our world renowned Rutherglen Muscats are made from the variety Muscat à Petits Grains Rouge, and our Rutherglen Tokay from Muscadelle.

Our nursery block is home to many experimental varieties such as Viognier and Roussane, displaying our commitment to innovation in the vineyard.
