Saddlers Creek Wines

WINEMAKER'S CRAFT COLLECTION The Australian wine community is well known for being experimental and innovative when it comes to growing and producing wine. Saddler's Creek Wines echoes these sentiments which are how our Winemaker's Craft wines evolved. This collection allows our Winemakers to be adventurous in winemaking styles and techniques, and curiously pursue emerging varietals that are conducive to our ever-changing environment. In the pursuit of emerging varietals Italian varietals grown in Australia are fast going from emerging/alternative to highly sought-after wines, thanks to innovative Winemakers and consumers' eagerness to try and enjoy new wines. 'SINGLE SUITCASE' SERIES Winemaker’s Craft 'Single Suitcase' Collection salutes the many immigrants who arrived in Australia during the 1950's with only a handful of dreams and a single suitcase to build a better life. Dreams in hand, these immigrants also bought their love of wine, family traditions and culture. https://youtu.be/8tDxZejOoo0
