Canonbah Bridge

Shane McLaughlin has established the Canonbah Bridge vineyard (shiraz, merlot, semillon, verdelho, mourvedre, grenache, tempranillo and chardonnay) on the very large Merryanbone Station, a Merino sheep stud that has been in the family for four generations. The wines are at three price points: at the bottom is Bottle Tree, from Southeastern Australia; then Ram's Leap (estate-grown); and at the top, Canonbah Bridge, either estate or estate/regional blends. Exports to the UK, the US, Canada, Ireland, Denmark, The Netherlands, Hong Kong and China. -JAMES HALLIDAY
