Aaron Brasher, The Real Review: “Renzaglia is likely to be a name that you haven’t come across when it comes to Australian wine. I hadn’t discovered them until I judged in the Sydney Royal Wine Show last year with third generation winemaker Sam Renzaglia. “I did have to admit to Sam that I hadn’t heard…
The Winefront is Australia’s most active wine library with more than 300,000 wine entries. With wine writer, publisher and former editor of Halliday Wine Companion, Campbell Mattinson at the helm, The Winefront takes an insightful look across the wines of Australia. Campbell recently took a look at a few of our new Central Ranges wines….
The foundations of Renzaglia Wines were laid in 1982, in the most unlikely of places, when winemakers Guy and Betty Renzaglia planted a small vineyard in the dry county of Alto Pass, Illinois, USA. Fifteen years later, their son Mark and his wife Sandy established their eponymous label in the Wambuul Valley, within the cool…
You may wonder why we chose to call our fruity vermentino white wine “Murnang di Renzo”. Long before our family became custodians of this small pocket of land in the O’Connell / Wambuul (Fish River) Valley, Murnang tubers were an important staple for indigenous people in southern parts of Australia. Murnang grew extensively across heathland, open woodland and grassland….
2024 was a phenomenal year for grapes in the Central Ranges of New South Wales……but it didn’t start out that way! We had virtually no water in the soil in early spring and had used up all of our available water including what little we had in our dam. Then, thankfully, the rains came in…

Winegrape growers throughout Australia are being supported in their actions to enhance soil health, establish ground covers and increase functional biodiversity in their vineyards through the National EcoVineyards program. Through EcoVineyards, wine growers have access to new region-specific resources, regular events, and insights from demonstration sites in participating…
In 2023, Sam was listed in the TOP WINEMAKERS in the YOUNG GUNS OF WINE “Samuel Renzaglia developed the di Renzo range under his family’s eponymous wine label. That label is based out of their Bathurst vineyard in the O’Connell Valley, while the di Renzo wines are made from fruit sourced from prime growers across…
Another year in the life of a vigneron, ha ha, who knows what may happen next. The growing season started in September 2022 with plenty of water in the soil to set the grapes up for a good beginning. However, a wet October and November meant that the ground was so wet that waterlogging and bogged…
It started with a discussion in the summer of 2015, Mum, Dad, Paul and I were on a family holiday in Melbourne and the topic was, “where should Renzaglia Wines go from here? Should Mum and Dad expand the business in the future or should they think about how they could retire without having committed…
Sam recently spoke with wine commentator, judge and sommelier Shantah Wale “Sam Renzaglia is a third generation winemaker located out of Bathurst NSW, Sam and his father Mark have made great bounds for the uncharted wine region. Their reputation for quality wines continues to grow and expand.” Shantah Wale
We were thrilled to be named the 2022 Wine Companion ‘Dark Horse Winemaker of the Year’. “Minimal imprint in the vineyard and winery, judicious use of high-quality oak and courageous extraction gift us with a suite of detailed, precise and prodigiously digestible wines. These are the sort of savoury mid-weighters across price points that this…
Renzaglia Wines produce high quality cool climate wines on a vineyard situated in a stunning country location near Bathurst. Mark is a multi-award winning winemaker, and the vineyard is very much a family affair as affectionately narrated by his son Sam in this short introduction to the vineyard and new cellar door of Renzaglia Wines.
Vermouth as it seems, is really the genesis of the themes that I have discussed in the above pieces. For those that don’t know what Vermouth is. It’s an aromatized, fortified and often sweetened wine. Not too different to a gin, but much lower alcohol. Vermouth is a key constituent in many of the world’s…

No I’m not referring to my messy husband and two ‘leave it where you used it’ sons, I’m referring to our Willy Wagtail couple and their 3 chicks, Daniel & Daniella and their baby skinks and the daily kangaroo parade. We have enjoyed watching the frantic nest buildings of the Ma and Pa Willy’s on our…
