Murray Darling Wineries

hatueu Mildura’s boutique range of wines are made on a small scale with varieties of grapes from the Mildura region. We employ a unique mix of both old and modern techniques and technology in its winemaking operation.

Small batches of white and red grapes are carefully processed using controlled temperature fermentation and open top fermenters. The Reds are then hand plunged before oak maturation.

Descendant’s from Italy and the mountains of Calabria with a long history in growing grapes and a passion for drinking good wine. The Cua Italian Grand parents used the Cappa Stone (Pietra Cappa) rock formation in the Calabrian Mountain range in Southern Italy, to hide and protect the family. Here they survived and encouraged the family to love life and to live it to it’s fullest.

The rock formation is a symbol of life, fulfilment and opportunity that is instilled into our company and into the wines that are made for all to fall in love with.

To make our wines we select super premiuim parcels of fruit and transport them to our winery to be hand made and nutured with open fermentation vats, basket presses and aged in the finest of oak barrels.
