Angas Plains Estate

In '94 Phillip and Judy Cross began the Angas Plains Estate plantings, first with cabernet sauvignon, followed by shiraz, and then a small block of chardonnay predominantly used as a sparkling base. The location on ancient Angas River floodplains, together with cooling evening breezes from the local Lake Alexandrina, proved ideally suited to the red varieties. Skilled contract winemaking has resulted in some excellent wines from the estate-grown shiraz and cabernet sauvignon. Exports to Singapore and Hong Kong. -JAMES HALLIDAY
