Wines and Liqueurs

The Sunny Ridge value added product that has gained the most acclaim is its range of fruit wines and liqueurs. The intense and complex flavours of these unique boutique wines are a result of their real strawberry content. Different strawberry varieties are used in the production of each wine to create the desired blend of colour, sweetness, acidity and aroma.

The venture into wine production started in 1990 when four acres of Pinot Grigio vines were planted. The wines produced from these crops went on to win a bronze medal for the 2002 vintage and a silver medal for the 2003 vintage at imagethe Victorian Wine Show.

In 1997, the first vintage of purely strawberry wines and liqueurs was created. The range now includes a strawberry crème liqueur, strawberry port and sparkling strawberry wine among others. Sunny Ridge’s wines are of the highest quality, winning awards at the Australian Fruit Wine Show in Tasmania in 2003 and 2007.

In July 2006, Sunny Ridge was awarded an Australian Federal Government grant to enable the expansion of their wine production to allow for nationwide distribution and export to potentially high yielding markets and a number of new blends are currently under development. The international launch of Sunny Ridge’s wines and liqueurs will be in its chosen target market of Singapore later this year.

An intoxicating elixir with an enchanting sweet sticky finish. Chilled as an aperitif or as a desert wine, this liqueur can make a cocktail blush with intense red berry. Such a dangerously delightful embellishment in champagne cocktails! A wickedly mischievous topping for adult desserts!

Zest at its best…. Seconds, before it touches your lips you will know it. It is the vibrant essence of lemon from the very first moment! It is a luminous spirit with distinctively tangy afterglow. An engaging and refreshing summer taste from the Mediterranean. The intense flavourings result from years of Italian tradition. Sunny Ridge’s Limoncello is best served on ice.
