![]() Campbell vineyards and winery, owned and operated by the Campbell Family was established in 1870 by gold miner come winemaker, Scottish immigrant John Campbell. Since this time the winery has gone from strength to strength, aquiring a reputation for execellence in winemaking along the way. Today the winery boasts five generations in the wine industry as well as diversification into other pastoral enterprises.Situated entirely within the Rutherglen Wine Region, their vineyards total approximately 64 hectares (160 acres) of trialled and proven varieties. Rutherglen’s dependable climate is, in many ways similar to the Rhone region of France and it comes as no surprise that the Rhone specialties of Shiraz (known as Syrah in France) and Durif prosper here. A full range of winemaking techniques is used for our reds and whites. The use of heat exchangers and refrigerated storage is coupled to gentle tank pressing and controlled fermentation to protect delicate fruit aromas. Rotary fermenters enhance colour extraction for red wines. French and American oak barrels are used sparingly in the fermentation and maturation of some wines; always to enhance, never to dominate the natural fruit flavours. |
