Angove Family Winemakers

Description

Angove Family Winemakers began in the Adelaide foothills in 1886, with Thomas C Angove later establishing Angove's distillery and processing house in Renmark in 1910. This was the first of it's kind in the Riverland region and the start of strong and ongoing commitment to the district. In 1968, Angove's began planting their own vines at Paringa, with the Nanya Vineyard becoming the largest single vineyard in Australia in the 1980s.

Today the Angove family are Australia’s leading organic grape grower and winemaker, with a deep commitment to sustainability. The large range of quality wines produced at the winery are exported around the world.

The Cellar Door is located in the beating heart of the working Renmark Winery. Here you will be treated to a range of premium and organic wines, and Australia’s greatest craft spirit, St Agnes Brandy. Stone's Ginger Wine products are also produced under license by the Angove Family Winemakers at the site.
