Where Is Angove From?

Angove is based in South Australia, with deep roots in the Riverland and a premium presence in McLaren Vale. The family’s Nanya Vineyard sits on the Murray River near Renmark and is a major source of certified organic fruit, while McLaren Vale adds another layer of regional quality and heritage. This combination gives Angove the ability to make organic wines that are consistent, generous and excellent value.

Organic and Sustainable Farming

Angove is a leader in certified organic grape growing and winemaking, with vineyards farmed without synthetic pesticides, herbicides or fertilisers. The focus is on soil health, biodiversity, water care and reducing chemical inputs across the vineyard and winery. For customers moving from conventional wine into organic, Angove offers a familiar, dependable and accessible starting point.

What Makes Angove Different?

Angove combines long family history with genuine organic scale. Many small producers make excellent organic wine, but Angove has helped bring certified organic options into more everyday drinking occasions. The wines are made to be approachable rather than intimidating, with familiar varieties, clear fruit flavour and a cleaner farming story.

What Is Angove Known For?

Angove is known for organic Australian wines that offer freshness, value and reliability. The range includes popular varieties such as Chardonnay, Shiraz, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Pinot Grigio, Fiano, rosé and sparkling, with many wines made in a soft, fruit-forward style.
