DisCoVeR soMething new FRoM one oF AUstRAliA’s olDest wine Regions Traditional Varieties made in Rutherglen include Shiraz, Durif and Cabernet, shining examples of the classic reds Rutherglen is renowned for... full bodied and structured to pair with rich, winter dishes. For lovers of ‘big reds’ a visit to Warrabilla Wines is a must.

New take on traditional varieties Our winemakers continue to experiment and search for ways to move forward in the vineyard and winery, including looking at long-established varieties in new ways. You will find fantastic examples of this fresh approach to old favourites at wineries such as Jones Winery & Vineyard, Lake Moodemere Vineyard and St Leonards Vineyard.

Fortified Wines “There’s no denying that the twin peaks of Rutherglen wine are the luscious fortified Muscadelle (Topaque) and Muscat. A few years ago, the winemakers of Rutherglen developed a four-tier system of quality classification for their Muscat. At the base of the pyramid is straight ‘Rutherglen’ Muscat - youthful, easy drinking, everyday wine - and at the top of the pyramid are tiny quantities of ‘Rare’ Muscat - unbeatable, extraordinary, powerful, died-and-gone-to-heaven deliciousness. When you taste a top ‘Rare’ Muscat you can’t help feeling that you’re tasting perfection. I mean, really: how could wine get any better than this?” Max Allen

we DARe to be DiFFeRent...Alternative Varieties Our dry, warm climate provides ideal conditions for a broad range of varieties and styles. Exciting opportunities have been identified by experimenting with old vine fruit, such as Portuguese variety Touriga Nacional and French variety Mondeuse, which have been in the ground for a century. Sample wonderful examples at Stanton & Killeen Wines and Bullers Winery, Rutherglen.

Southern European Varieties Rutherglen has seen a resurgence of the famous Southern European varieties, with a real affinity to the region and its climate. Recently it has been the white varieties that are proving most successful, with Marsanne, Roussanne and Viognier producing aromatic and generously layered wines, with ripe fruit flavours and excellent structure. Rutherglen Estates, Cofield Wines and Pfeiffer Wines have some great examples of these styles of wine to savour at their cellar doors.

* Rutherglen is characterised by people who respect the traditions of the past and embrace new ideas for the future.

Our cellar doors, each with their own unique sights, aromas and tastes, are wide open with friendly faces ready to share their stories and their love of Rutherglen while guiding you through the wide variety of wines on offer.

An AUstRAliAn FiRst Back in 1873 All Saints Estate won Australia’s first international gold medal at the Paris Exhibition.

This medal is currently on display in the cellar door area of this beautifully maintained castle with an entrance to take your breath away. Here you will find a Chinese Dormitory, the last remaining example of its kind, in its original state of the 1880’s.

the goVeRnMent golD bAtteRY First installed in 1899 it operated until 1949. It has been restored and opened in time for the 150th anniversary of the discovery of gold in Rutherglen. Further information on the battery can be found in the Indigo Gold Trail brochure available at the Visitor Information Centre. Jump on a bike or take a drive and find the old mine sites and mullock heaps.

liQUiD golD... the wine ReVolUtion begins In 1884 the Rutherglen region had 50 working vineyards covering around 3,000 acres. By 1900 it was recorded that the region produced 25% of Australia’s wine, however by 1905 yields were reduced by half due to the devastation of Phylloxera.

By 1925 wine production had recovered with 750,000 gallons of wine per year being exported to England from Victoria. Most of this, we can proudly say, was from our region. Unfortunately in the 1950’s, half gallon flagons decimated the bulk wine trade and many winemakers opted for growing wool. Sadly, only 12 wineries remained.

However, in true Australian spirit our people know how to make the most of what they have. In 1967 the inaugural Rutherglen Wine Festival, the forerunner of the Winery Walkabout, was held which began the popular revival of Rutherglen and its winery tourism.

Today Rutherglen is a thriving and vibrant region boasting over 20 wineries and cellar doors.

5 our HistorY // www.rutherglenvic.com

CoMe on A JoURneY, exploRe oUR FAsCinAting heRitAge, iMAgine... prior to the 1820’s the Kwat Kwat people occupied the land around the Rutherglen region. Following Major Mitchell’s 1936 expedition, local pioneers Henry Foord and John Crisp took up cattle runs in the Wahgunyah area in 1839. In 1851 Lindsay Brown selected the Gooramadda cattle run and planted vines at Browns Plains and Edwin Sanger planted vines at Corowa. Little did they know what the future held...

In the spring of 1860, the first gold prospecting party reached the hills on which the present day town of Rutherglen stands. The township was initially known as the Wahgunyah Diggings, then Calico Town, then Barkly, and was finally named Rutherglen by the entrepreneur John Wallace, owner of the Star Hotel. John promised to shout the bar at his hotel if the name of the town was changed to his birthplace in Scotland.

Over the next 50 years the scale of gold mining operations grew. There was reputed to be 21 pubs in the main street, only 3 of which still exist today. Over 11,000 inhabitants occupied the town including many Chinese. After 1919 mining was no longer viable and our region turned to agriculture...

* A district pioneer agriculturalist is noted as saying, “there is more gold to be won from the top twelve inches of soil than from the depths below”
