WINEMAKING PHILOSOPHY

The Campbell family’s wines spring from the unique qualities of the Rutherglen wine region, 5 generations of knowledge, and dedication to innovation. Their philosophy is to capture the full flavors of Rutherglen into wines of complexity and elegance. They are highly regarded for their full-flavored vibrant red wines, including Shiraz and Durif (Petite Sirah). Campbells also produce the luscious Rutherglen Muscats and Topaques, which are considered to be amongst the world’s richest wines. These are unique wines in the world, a combination of the region’s climate and soil plus the generations of experience and the old vine stocks preserved by generations past. Each vintage the grapes are left on the vines until fully raisinated and laden with natural sugar. The resulting wine is then blended with previous vintages using a solera method to produce a consistent house style: rich, high quality wines that are quite rare and unique.
