In 1974 Marco and Rosa Marchetti traded suburban Sydney for red-soil country on the Granite Belt, and Reedy Creek has stayed proudly in the family — today Marco's daughter Lucia and her children run the estate, still picking by hand and fermenting with native yeast. The original 1974 Shiraz block yields the flagship Old Vine Shiraz, and the cellar door wears its Italian heritage on its sleeve: preserved peppers on the shelves, a bocce court along the fence, and something always baking in the kitchen.
Reedy Creek Estate Wines focuses on Shiraz, Prosecco, Durif, Chardonnay, White Italia, and more. Signature bottles include Old Vine Shiraz Reserve, Durif Reserve, Rosso Alpino, Estate Chardonnay, Bianco Alpino, Prosecco 2023, Prosecco 2024, Liqueur Muscat, Tawny Port.
