Campbells
The Campbell family`s winemaking heritage began in 1870 when John Campbell, a plucky Scottish gold miner recently arrived from St Andrews, made his first wine from his `Bobbie Burns` vineyard in Rutherglen, in the Australian state of Victoria. It proved more successful than his mining career until the vineyard was devastated by phylloxera in the late 1800s. An intensive replanting programme didn`t gain traction until 1930. The family has continued to expand and develop and the approach to quality viticulture and winemaking by brothers Malcolm and Colin Campbell since the 1960s has seen Campbells grow to 64 hectares of vines and wines appreciated in the major markets of the world.
