The Ashton Family, Winemaker, Orange

The Ashton Family Winemaker Orange Story by Millamolong Estate

When the four Ashton brothers took on the UK and USA's polo teams in the 1930s, their success was world news. Now it's their wine taking centre stage.

Millamolong Estate, situated in the hills of Mandurama in the Orange wine region, stems from a rich polo heritage. The Ashton family and Millamolong have been the centre piece of Australian polo for 80 years following their international success.

The vineyards are an extension of the property and an example of the Ashton's commitment to the Australian land. The cool climate vineyards comprise Riesling, Merlot, Cabernet, Chardonnay and Shiraz.

The latest releases include the Millamolong '56 Miles' Shiraz, '24 Goals' Riesling and 2009 'Isabelle's Ghost' Merlot. These wines are a tribute to the rich tapestry that makes up the Ashton family history and polo success.
