Angullong is a family owned wine company from the high elevation, cool climate wine region of Orange in the Central West of New South Wales.

Continuing the property’s long farming history, the remaining 4,000 acres are dedicated to grazing land for Anguscattle as well as to growing fodder crop for the Angullong Pastoral Co.

Angullong Winemaking
Angullong has a straightforward winemaking philosophy based on the belief that the vineyard determines the wine quality and therefore it is the winemaker’s job to ensure the grapes are given the best possible opportunity to reveal their regional origins. The Angullong team is able to pick the finest fruit to go into the wines. These parcels tend to be smaller with each contributing a unique element and degree of complexity to the final blend. All these aspects are brought together by a talented team of winemakers from the Orange and Hunter Valley regions. Headed up by the experienced and highly respected Jon Reynolds, they work in a state-of-the-art winery. Their motivation hails from a desire to present wine-lovers with top quality, modern wines that gain the respect of consumers and critics alike.
