To
celebrate over a century of family owned Australian
winemaking excellence, Angove's has released a new
range of wines that capture the essence of Australia's
most renowned vineyard regions.
Angove's Vineyard
Select sees three of Australia's premium wine grape
growing regions represented, together with the variety
for which they are internationally renowned. Careful
attention to detail has been paramount in all stages
of development of this new premium range from Angove's.
The fruit and wine for the three wines has been
meticulously cared for by our team of winemakers
under the ever-watchful eyes of Senior Winemaker
Warwick Billings.
The Coonawarra Cabernet
Sauvignon, McLaren Vale Shiraz and Clare Valley
Riesling display all the hallmarks that have made
these premium regions and varieties so renowned.
