Redbank Winery was established by Neill & Sally Robb in the Pyrenees region of Central Victoria in 1973. It is distinctly Australian and is named after the small town situated three kilometers to the north, and is located 2 hours north-west of Melbourne in the heart of the Pyrenees range. Redbank Winery has established a reputation for producing wines of excellent quality, consistency and value. The winery is 18kms past Avoca on the Sunraysia Highway.
Neill & Sally planted their first vines in 1973 which consisted of Cabernet Sauvignon, Shiraz, Cabernet Franc, Merlot and Malbec varieties. Today there are 45 acres under vine, which produce high quality grapes. The original vineyard of Sally's Paddock, named after Neill's wife Sally, is still a non irrigated single vineyard that continues to deliver a wine of wonderful complexity and depth.
After 35 years of operation, Redbank Winery continues to be wholly owned and operated by Neill & Sally Robb.
Sally's Paddock is proudly listed as 'Distinguished' on the Langton's Classification of Distinguished Australian Wine. The Sally's Paddock has been listed in their catalogue since it's inception. Langton's Classification is now a cornerstone of the ultra-fine Australian wine market. It is based on the actual buying patterns of their clients (over 6000 active members). Thus it transcends personal agendas, pompous glorifications and endless accolades.
