Redbank King Valley. Much of Victoria is littered with long abandoned miners' camps and long forgotten mine shafts that gave little to the battling prospector of the 1850s gold rush. During the same time notorious bushrangers roamed the high country of North East Victoria robbing the gold and mail coaches and stealing the valuable livestock of wealthy land owners. None was more famous than the legendary Ned Kelly. To some, Ned and his gang were folk heroes. Their lightning hit-and-run skirmishes with the law and their brilliant horsemanship and knowledge of the rugged bush continually frustrated the police and local authorities. This colouful heritage inspired the wines from the King Valley. New varietal styles from high altitude vineyards reflect the diversity of the King Valley. Fruit for these wines is harvested from vineyards that sit at nearly 800 metres above sea level, covered in snow in winter and shrouded in cloud during other times of the year. View vintage details.

Redbank The Long Paddock Wines. The Long Paddock wines honour the ingenuity and courage of the early Australian drovers. Inflicted with cruel and regular droughts, these men and women faced the option of giving up and starving along with their cattle and sheep or flinging open their boundary gates and allowing their stumbling, starving stock to roam the bush roads and tracks in the desperate hope of finding food and water. Somewhere. Anywhere. This was known as “droving the Long Paddock”, a task that could take them away from their family and home for months and months. Sometimes even years. Fortunately some stock was saved. Unfortunately for some, when the rains didn’t come the heartbreak of seeing their stock die became a regular occurrence. Inspired by the courage of these brave pioneers, Redbank began sourcing selected fruit from many of Victoria’s premium wine growing regions. This was the beginning of the Long Paddock tradition. Today, Redbank selects much of its fruit for our Long Paddock wines from the high altitude King and Ovens Valleys in Victoria’s North East. View vintage details.

Redbank Emily. Selected parcels of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay fruit are sourced from the cool climate vineyards in the King Valley and other premium Victorian regions to produce a fresh sparkling wine. This delicate fruit driven wine is pale straw in colour with a persistent bead in the glass. A long creamy palate and subtle toast and yeast flavours combine brilliantly with the lemon-citrus aromas and underlying nuttiness of the Chardonnay. Emily is a wine to be enjoyed at any time and to celebrate any occasion. Emily is the life of any party! View vintage details.

Redbank The Anvil. The Anvil reminds us of times gone by when our settlers handcrafted their farming implements with the heat of the forge and the strength of the anvil. Filled with hope and determination, these pioneers set about taming much of Victoria’s uncharted lands. Celebrating the badge of Redbank, The Anvil Shiraz continues the Redbank philosophy of seeking outstanding fruit from premium regions within Victoria. View vintage details.
