Vinaceous
WINERY OVERVIEW
As Australia is a huge landmass, not all varieties grow in one place, so the Vinaceous concept
is to think very carefully about the variety or style of wine desired, and then to make the wines
in the best-suited region.
Vinaceous Wines also looks to the future with new and emerging varieties grown in Australia,
such as Vermentino, Pinot Grigio, Malbec and Tempranillo, to complement the more traditional
offering of Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, Shiraz, and Cabernet Sauvignon.
Vinaceous labels and marketing reflect a philosophy of a travelling theatrical winemaking
company. Each label represents one of nine personalities: men, women, angels, demons,
mermaids, and other creatures of mythology, as a way of visually bringing this concept to life.
LOCATION OF VINEYARD
Vinaceous champions single varietal wines (making only one red blend) from key maritime
climates: Margaret River, Adelaide Hills, and McLaren Vale, the most noted wine regions of
Australia. Some vineyards are Vinaceous-owned, while others are contracted, but all are
subjected to the same standards across all aspects, from growing to harvest, winemaking
to bottling.
WINEMAKING PHILOSOPHY
The Vinaceous philosophy on winemaking is simple: to produce the best varietal wines from
the best vineyards, from the best regions in Australia.
