New premium wine brand, King’s Reach, is a range of small batch releases from Victorian subregions including Sunbury, King Valley and Heathcote. King’s Reach is produced in partnership with families and growers from the regions to protect mature vineyards and keep vines in the ground, ensuring their legacy continues while also giving their knowledge and expertise of the site the respect it deserves.

The resulting provenance of the range encapsulates regional expressions with old-vine nuance and a range of styles that capture Victoria’s depth, diversity and viticultural heritage.

The range includes a vibrant Prosecco and fragrant 2025 Pinot Grigio from King Valley, as well as a Sparkling Brut from Sunbury at launch ideal for a balmy summer’s evening or perfectly paired with light seasonal fare when entertaining.

King’s Reach is crafted by award-winning winery Marnong Estate, situated in the heart of Victoria’s historic Sunbury wine region. Marnong Estate is known for producing cool-climate wines, with Alex Beckett, Marnong Estate’s director of Wine at the helm.

“Marnong Estate is delighted to introduce King’s Reach to Aussie wine enthusiasts; with the whites we are releasing at launch being perfect for a tipple this summer.

“Partnering with other Victorian growers to produce King’s Reach has allowed us to utilise their historical expertise of the land – delivering wines with a unique personality that are a testament to the regions from which the grapes originate,” said Beckett.

King’s Reach sparkling whites and Pinot Grigio go hand-in-hand with summer celebrations and are perfect for a range of occasions – from a family BBQ to a toast-worthy moment – these vibrant whites will elevate any gathering and are the ideal companion for a range of seasonal cuisines.
