WINEMAKING PHILOSOPHY
The Campbell family’s wines spring from the unique qualities of the Rutherglen wine region,
5 generations of knowledge, and dedication to innovation. Their philosophy is to capture the
full flavors of Rutherglen into wines of complexity and elegance. They are highly regarded for
their full-flavored vibrant red wines, including Shiraz and Durif (Petite Sirah).
Campbells also produce the luscious Rutherglen Muscats and Topaques, which are considered
to be amongst the world’s richest wines. These are unique wines in the world, a combination
of the region’s climate and soil plus the generations of experience and the old vine stocks
preserved by generations past. Each vintage the grapes are left on the vines until fully
raisinated and laden with natural sugar. The resulting wine is then blended with previous
vintages using a solera method to produce a consistent house style: rich, high quality wines
that are quite rare and unique.
