The Riverina region is
home to the Calabria Family Winery.
The region enjoys a warm Mediterranean climate with winter dominant rainfall and variations of soils from deep red tones through to brown clay loams. The Riverina is centered around the city of Griffith which was established in the early 1900s. The Calabria Family sources its grape supply from local family growers, and some of these relationships started when Francesco Calabria founded the winery in 1945. Today the family continues to work closely with the growers to ensure optimum quality.
Passionate & Award Winning
The Calabria winemakers are a diverse team who all work collectively together, each to bring a unique dimension to the wine portfolio, but follow the same mission; to produce wines of great density and finesse, wines that the consumer wants to enjoy. Together the team have over 85 years experience and work strongly to uphold Calabria’s proud history and continue to create wines of excellence.
