BANROCK STATION

SEMILLON CHARDONNAY

Banrock Station, just north of Kingston-on-Murray in South Australia's Riverland, is an eighteen hundred hectare property, situated directly opposite the historic Cobb & Co stagecoach station. The property was originally established for grazing and cropping, but with the River Murray forming its boundary for 12 kilometres, Banrock is even more ideally suited to viticulture.

For every bottle sold, a donation is made to the Banrock Station Wetlands Foundation Canada to support wetland conservation projects.
