  • Campbells Muscats and Topaques of Rutherglen
    Campbells Muscats and Topaques of Rutherglen CAMPBELLS WINES RUTHERGLEN VICTORIA, AUSTRALIA The Campbell Family Scotsman John Campbell established the vineyard in 1870. Today, the vineyards and winery are operated by fourth generation viticulturist Malcolm Campbell and his brother Colin, the winemaker. They have been joined by the fifth generation who are adding their skills to all facets of the family operations. With five generations and over 140 years of family winemaking, the Campbells have forged a reputation as a benchmark Rutherglen winery and one of the leading wineries of North Eastern Victoria, Australia. Location Campbells vineyards and winery are located in the historic Rutherglen Wine Region of North Eastern Victoria, Australia. The wines Campbells is renowned for crisp whites and full bodied red table wines that reflect the characters of the Rutherglen Wine Region. Campbells also produce the luscious Rutherglen Muscats and Rutherglen Topaques which are considered to be amongst the world’s richest wines. They are unique wines of the world being a combination of climate, soil, grape variety, generations of experience and the old stocks reserved by generations past. The Rutherglen Wine Region Rutherglen’s warm and dependable climate is in many ways similar to the Rhone region in France and hence the varieties Shiraz and Durif (Petite Sirah) prosper there. Reliably warm and dry autumn weather allows the grapes to slowly and fully ripen producing true varietal flavours. It also means that the Rutherglen Muscat and Topaque grapes can be confidently left to hang on the vine to develop the flavour and high natural sugar levels required to produce the world’s richest wines.

  • Spring Tasting Notes
    THE BROTHERS SHIRAZ 2013 Great wine does take time and this is certainly true of The Brothers Shiraz. Tended by hand from vine to bottle, this is the pinnacle of our endeavours and is the ultimate expression of Rutherglen Shiraz. - Colin Campbell COLOUR Dense red/black, beginning to show some age. BOUQUET A lifted and complex nose comprised of plum fruit, oak char and black pepper notes. PALATE Full bodied with complex layers of ripe plum and blackberries. Carefully selected oak adds a touch of earth and spice with dry, grippy tannins providing great poise and balance. A big wine from a great vintage. CELLARING AND SERVING SUGGESTIONS Our 2013 The Brothers Shiraz has undergone extended maturation in both barrel and bottle for three years prior to release. This time has allowed the fruit, oak and tannins to fully integrate and deliver a truly memorable Rutherglen Shiraz. Whilst approachable now, this complex and structured wine will reward those with the patience to cellar to 2020 and beyond. Try alongside a tender rib eye steak with green peppercorn sauce. DATE TASTED June 2020 THE GRAPES Shiraz from our Rutherglen vineyard. WINEMAKING After fermentation for five days using closed fermenters, the wine was aged in new American and French oak puncheons for a period of 2 years. TECHNICAL DETAILS Alc 14.5% T.A. 6.5g/l pH 3.51 THE SIXTIES BLOCK 2015 First planted by my brother Malcolm in the early 1960’s, our Sixties Block contains a single row of many obscure and interesting grape varieties. Today this mature vineyard produces small quantities of intensely flavoured fruit, from which we select the very best for this intriguing field blend.
