Based in the unheralded Rutherglen region, 3 hours north of Melbourne, this was gold-mining country back in the 1800s. The same rich red clay soils are also perfect for grape growing, and they’ve been doing this here for 100+ years.
Try with confit duck breast or a pink rack of lamb with a herb breadcrumb crust. Delicious for Sunday lunch on a wet wintery day with good friends and no plans except for an afternoon nap!
