Teacher Dennis Canute and sixth-generation grower Christine started Rusden in 1992 with a single barrel of Cabernet between friends. Their Vine Vale vineyard — deep white sand over red clay — grows Shiraz from 1969 plantings alongside Grenache, Cabernet and Zinfandel from what they claim is Australia's oldest planting of the variety. The cellar door is built around a wood oven.
