Rutherglen winemakers finish wine grape harvest before big wet

Winemakers in one of Australia’s premier wine regions have finished this season’s grape harvest early. The Rutherglen region, which is famous for producing some of the world’s best Muscat and Topaque, has battled a number of natural disasters including frosts and flooding rains in the last decade. This season growers avoided disaster and were ready to make great wine. For Colin Campbell, senior winemaker and director of Campbells Wines, the tough years have been infuriating.
