Located 20 miles East of Renmark on the South Australian border is Nelwood Estate. It is owned by a viticultural family with a strong record of consistently producing grapes of the highest quality over four generations.

The vineyards have significant plantings of Shiraz, Chardonnay, Cabernet Sauvignon and Petit Verdot that are produced to the very high quality needed to create the style of wine export markets demand.

Proprietor Richard Dolan believes that wine is a unique expression of the land and the people who care for it - that wine, in essence, is grown. In this case, the wine has been named to raise awareness of the plight of this unique endangered species.
