Wineries

Mimosa Wines, NSW  2845 Tathra Bermagui Road, Murrah 2546.
Nestled at Murrah, midway between the coastal townships of Bermagui and Tathra, this 200-acre property is discreetly tucked away in a coastal valley between the pristine beaches and spectacular coastline of Mimosa Rocks National Park and the rainforest, waterfalls and mountain scenery of Biamanga National Park. The seven-acre vineyard has been established since initial plantings in 1999. Winemaker Glenn Butson appreciated the challenges involved with growing grapes in this fickle maritime climate and selected Chambourcin, Verdelho, Tempranillo and the ultra premium Spanish white Albarino for their compatibility with the terroir and lifestyle of this unique area.With biodynamic practices employed to invigorate soils and combat disease, and passionate wine-making producing innovative wine styles, these selections have proven inspirational.

Rusty Fig Wines, NSW  Coolagolite, near Bermagui
Rusty Fig Wines takes its name from the native Rusty Fig tree, also known as the Port Jackson Fig, which grows on the slopes of Gulaga, the mountain overlooking our vineyard. Due to the vineyard’s proximity to the coast at Bermagui, our wines display typical cool climate characteristics. The high acidity associated with cool climate wines means they age well, developing added richness over time. Whites in our own cellar are drinking beautifully 8 years after bottling. Rusty Fig Wines was established by Gary, the vigneron, and Frances in 2002, and is family owned and operated vineyard. It is located between Cobargo and Bermagui in a locality known as Coolagolite, only 10km from the coast.
