Our Review
RiverBank Estate was first planted on the fertile banks of the Swan River in '82 and has grown to encompass 12ha of mature, low-yielding vines (17 varieties), the wines made onsite. The property was purchased by the Lembo family in '17 and has been rebranded into 4 wine ranges: Field Blend, Rebellious, Eric Anthony and Bossman. -JAMES HALLIDAY
Specialities
RiverBank Estate grows five white varieties: verdelho, chenin blanc, semillon, chardonnay and vermentino, and 12 red varieties: tempranillo, malbec, grenache, zinfandel, sangiovese, petit verdot, cabernet franc, cabernet sauvignon, shiraz, pinot noir, nero d’avola and merlot.
Across the vineyard, 15 of the 17 varieties are classified as ‘Old Vine’ under the Swan Valley Old Vine Charter, meaning the vines are over 35 years old. The exceptions are tempranillo, planted 32 years ago, and vermentino, planted 16 years ago.
