Description Alex studied viticulture at La Trobe and subsequently moved to Mildura. He made wine at Zilzie in '08 and then at Angove Family Winemakers before making his own wines from 2014. He is turning out some really exceptional wines under his new Russell & Suitor label. We’re really enjoying his Franca’s Vineyard wines... they’re juicy, delicious and very very moreish. You can really taste the sunshine-rich fruit in every bottle! Enjoy this lovely ripe Pinot Noir from Alex Russell either room temperature with Asian duck dishes or even on its own, slightly chilled.
The South Australian wine industry is responsible for more than half the production of all Australian wine. South Australia is a vast area with a great diversity in geography, allowing the state to produce a wide range of grape varieties from cool-climate Riesling in the Clare Valley to big, full-bodied Shiraz of the Barossa Valley. Some of Australia's most famous wines like Penfolds Grange, Jacob's Creek, Yalumba and Henschke Hill of Grace are produced here.
