Jane Campbell tells the story of a historic Rutherglen wine family
Jane Campbell is the General Manager of the family owned and run Campbell’s winery which is crafting world class wines in Victoria’s Rutherglen wine region. The Campbell’s story now spans 5 successive generations, from John Campbell who set sail from St Andrews in Scotland to join in the Gold rush but who ended up planting vines near what was then the Bobbie Burns gold field. The Campbell family survived phylloxera outbreak of the late 1800’s and then, with an eye on the future, consolidated then steadily grew without compromising quality or integrity. Campbell’s is now run by 5th generation sisters Jane and Julie Campbell, who are tirelessly working to share the Campbells message. Jane sat down with me to share the Campbells story and some insights into a wine family that is part and parcel of Australian wine history. A huge thanks to Jane for joining me.
