The single most important determinant of the quality of a wine is the quality of the fruit that goes into making it. There's an old saying in the industry that while it's possible to make bad wine out of good fruit, you can't make good wine out of bad grapes.

At Beelgara Estate, their growers have a stake in the success through a share in the ownership of the business, and this means that the quality of their fruit is unsurpassed. Their winemaking team, headed by James Ceccato, and Morandin express their approach and philosophy in simple terms. It is their objective to source premium fruit and to allow the quality of that fruit to express itself of the wines that their team produce.

James and Belinda are themselves products of the Riverina and have made wine here for most of their working lives. They believe strongly in the philosophy that good wine is made in the vineyard, and their deep knowledge of the area is paramount to our ability to source remarkable fruit.Their talent combined with significant capital investment in winemaking equipment has seen substantial increases in the quality of our wines.
