Redbank Winery
Redbank
Winery was established by Neill & Sally Robb in the Pyrenees region
of Central Victoria in 1973.
It
is distinctly Australian and is named after the small town situated
three kilometers to the north, and is located 2 hours north-west of
Melbourne in the heart of the Pyrenees range. Redbank Winery has
established
a reputation for producing wines of excellent quality, consistency and
value. The winery is 18kms north of Avoca on the Sunraysia Highway.
Neill
& Sally planted their first vines in 1973; which consisted of
Cabernet
Sauvignon, Shiraz, Cabernet Franc, Merlot and Malbec varieties. Today
there are 18 hectares (45 acres) under vine, which produce exceptional
quality grapes. The original vineyard of Sally’s Paddock, named after
Neill’s wife Sally, is still a non-irrigated single vineyard that
continues to deliver a wine of wonderful complexity and depth.
After 36 years of operation, Redbank Winery continues to be wholly
owned
and operated by Neill & Sally Robb.
Sally’s
Paddock is proudly listed as ‘Distinguished’ on the Langton’s
Classification of Distinguished Australian Wine. The Sally’s Paddock
has been listed in their catalogue since it’s inception. Langton’s
Classification is now a cornerstone of the ultra-fine Australian wine
market. It is based on the actual buying patterns of their clients (over
6000 active members). Thus it transcends personal agendas, pompous
glorifications
and endless accolades.
