In 1913, viticultural pioneer E.J. Roberts found the ideal place to expand his family winemaking business, right next to the Melbourne-to-Mildura railway line. Upon attempting to lease the block, however, the local railway engineer intervened. But E.J.’s passion was not be foiled - he went straight to the Chairman of Railway Commissioners, and, as E.J. recalled in his diary, “After quite a friendly all-round talk… he told the Engineer to let me have it.” In tribute, the label was named after the Commissioner, and Commissioner’s Block was born. A true Mediterranean varietal, these wines are rich and ripe, reflecting the character of the region, the passion of the winemaker and the commitment of the grape grower.

The recipe for success is deeply imbedded in classic winemaking traditions, blended with grapes specially selected from a variety of premium regions.

Mildura, once described in 1889 as ‘The New Garden of Eden’, has produced some of the most vibrant wines Australia has to offer. Little Eden is no exception. This range pays homage to EJ ‘Cocky’ Roberts - an early settler with a great vision. A city dweller lured to the Australian countryside in search of a more peaceful and relaxing life, EJ established a haven in the Mildura region – his own ’Little Eden.’ Embodying this vision, the Little Eden range is real, evocative, familiar and promotes a natural image.

Named by John Harvey after the famous English cathedral, the Salisbury collection reflects a heritage built on a frontier trailblazing spirit. First launched in 1998, over the years these wines have won numerous local and internationally renowned awards, including the Governor’s Award for Best Victorian White Wine. With a diverse range including Moscato, Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Grigio, Shiraz, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, there is a Salisbury wine for every occasion.

In the not-so-distant past, under the scorching southern sun, Australia’s inland shimmered with a sea of grey-green foliage. A resilient shrub, the Saltbush contributed immensely to the vitality of the regions. Indigenous tribes used the seeds to make dampers, while the leaves were used for medicinal purposes and skin cleansers. When the land was cleared for cattle grazing, the removal of the Saltbush diminished the ecosystem, and the significance of the Saltbush was realized. Paying homage to this remarkable plant, and the legacies created off the back of it, this collection is robust, sturdy and full-bodied - a true Australian classic.

Born in Warrnambool in 1857, E.J. Roberts is considered a pioneer of Mildura’s wine industry. His story is one of great serendipity. At 31, after a lengthy stint travelling through Victoria on a horse-drawn cart, a feeling dawned on him – he was lost. He threw caution to the wind, abandoned his maps and headed due north, leading him to the waters of the Murray River on the border of NSW. Here, he purchased and cleared some scrubland, planted 4 acres of grape vine cuttings in 1890, and so began the tale of Roberts Estates Wines.

The insignia of Roberts Estate derives from an old family brooch; the original retaining the inscription Ettle Weel. This is understood to mean Aim Well - the inspiration behind Roberts Estate’s contemporary winemaking. Aiming to make popular wine varieties and sell them at affordable prices, Roberts Estate Wines are a true testament to the fundamental craft of winemaking, capturing the essence of the region’s viticulture.
