If Dad is a wine lover, then lucky you, the trouble of finding a wow worthy Father’s Day gift has been cut in half. From there, it is hard to go wrong with gifting wines from Morris Wines thanks to the best possible fruit from the Rutherglen region and Morris family winemaking philosophy. 

The much-anticipated results of the 2023 Halliday Wine Companion awards are here. James Halliday has been Australia's most respected wine critic for nearly 40 years, and the annual Halliday Wine Companion is recognised as the benchmark for Australian wine.

Spending time in Rutherglen, and you will immerse yourself in 150 years of winemaking history. Famous for its world-class fortified wines, the region boasts over 20 wineries and a plethora of award-winning wines to taste and savour, from muscats and topaques that have made the region famous to the rich reds – Shiraz, Durif, and Cabernet.

The most festive time of the year is just around the corner, and here at Morris of Rutherglen, we would like to wish you a very happy holiday season. Now is the perfect time for lots of laughter and fun with friends and family, accompanied by festive Morris wines, of course!

With over 160 years of wine making experience, the Morris family have gained an esteemed reputation in Australia. Morris wine making combines contemporary techniques with rich family tradition.

Morris of Rutherglen are proud to announce our recent results at the 2021 Decanter World Wine Awards (DWWA).

Over the last few months, Rutherglen has been bustling, with trucks coming and going, delivering flavoursome ripe Rutherglen grapes. 

While they may be famous for their fortified wines, fifth and sixth generation Morris winemakers, David and Madden, their Rutherglen reds wines are what they’ll be sipping on Mother’s Day. We caught up with them at their Rutherglen winery to see what they are planning for the special day.

We’ve taken the ultimate pairing (wine + chocolate) and created a LIMITED EDITION pack!

Whether you’re planning a quiet weekend in, a short trip away, a staycation or a quaint dinner with friends – we have some drops we know you’ll love!

“The ancient Rutherglen region endured an interesting vintage this year, with a late but much-needed downpour combating the raging bushfires. Mild conditions throughout the growing season with low rainfall and a couple of warm weeks following Christmas led to less canopy growth causing the grapes to be two weeks behind with the crush starting in late February.

The historic Rutherglen boasts 150 years of winemaking history. The cool nights, warm days and long, dry autumns make for ideal viticultural conditions for pioneering varietals that are uniquely Australian in spirit such as the world famous Rutherglen Muscat.
