Angove Bookmark Crema Alluovo Marsala

Founded in 1886, Angove Family Winemakers is one of Australia’s most successful wine businesses – a 5th-generation family company with a tradition of excellence and an eye for the future. Angove wines includes The Medhyk, Warboys Vineyard, Family Crest, Organics, and Long Row brands. The McLaren Vale cellar door is nestled in the family’s certified organic and biodynamic Warboys Vineyard on Chalk Hill Road, the Renmark cellar door (home of the St Agnes Distillery) in Bookmark Avenue. In early 2019 Angove acquired the celebrated 12.7ha Angel Gully Vineyard in Clarendon from Primo Estate, and renamed the vineyard Angels Rise. Angove is committed to remaining privately owned and believes remaining in family hands enables the company to be master of its own destiny. Exports to all major markets.

John’s son Richard studied business and winemaking at Adelaide University, and after completing his winemaking degree left South Australia working vintages in many wineries around the world as a “flying winemaker” for eight years. In 2007 Richard was the top student at the Australian Wine Research Institute’s Advanced Wine assessment course and since then has judged at the Adelaide Wine Show, Victorian Wine Show and the Great Australian Shiraz Challenge. Richard returned to SA and joined the family business in 2008, overseeing the family’s McLaren Vale interests and being involved in Sales, Marketing and Winemaking activities. Richard is passionate about growing grapes organically, organic wine and sustainability. Richard became joint Managing Director with his sister Victoria in 2017.
