Bonnievale Wines

Bonnievale Wines is named after our quaint town that was founded by the visionary Scotsman, Christopher Forrest Rigg around the turn of the 19th century. Rigg, with his entrepreneurial spirit, bought a sizeable track of land in the luscious valley and began developing an irrigation canal to ensure a reliable water supply to the valley.

Rigg used most of his personal resources and all of his persuasive ability to sell the idea to like-minded pioneers, who certainly took his philosophy to heart. Through sheer hard work and dedication the successful, thriving town of Riggton was born.

Rigg later renamed the town Bonnievale (Beautiful Valley) after his grandfather’s residence in Scotland. Bonnievale Wines has four modern cellar facilities with a processing capacity of 40 000 tons per season.

The four facilities enable Bonnievale Wines to manage each of the grape and wine classes independently. This allows the winemakers to track and monitor the source of the best wines back to the exact vineyard where they were produced and continue to work with the growers on improving even further.
To ensure that the cellar is able to produce premium wines year after year, the owners of these vineyards are encouraged to practice advanced grape growing techniques, supported by a team of top viticulturists.

With the strict policy of ‘only bottling the best’, Bonnievale Wines has managed to establish a reputation for excellent consistent quality.
