Introducing Red Emu Wines: wines crafted to honour the vision of Australian and Queensland Origin Rugby League Legend Dale ‘Rowdy’ Shearer. The Emu, a symbol of his Aboriginal heritage and the spirit of Australia, embodies strength, agility, and deep-rooted wisdom. The Red symbolises the earth and spiritual relationships to the land, all while reflecting these qualities within its robust, rich flavours.

Inspired by Rowdy’s passion and determination, Red Emu is a celebration of success and an ode to achievement. It’s not just a wine; it’s a testament to the values of unity and community, bringing people together to share stories, laughter, and moments of joy. This wine is to be enjoyed, especially among family and friends, fostering connections and inspiring conversations that echo the spirit of togetherness.

Presenting our inaugural collection, including a vibrant Sparkling, a crisp Sauvignon Blanc and a smooth Shiraz, all meticulously handcrafted to delight a diverse range of wine enthusiasts.
