As far as I know there are only a couple of producers of AB in Australia, Rockford and Vinden Estate. I'm sure there are more. Do any Auswiners know of other producers. Does anyone drink it?

Chambers at Rutherglen used to grow AB, I think once sold as a blend with Blue Imperial (Cinsaut). No idea if they still do.

Yep; love the colour, overt but not cloying sweetness and spice. Great served very cold this time of year in the tropics. Just finished a bottle of Rocky's this evening, in fact. 3 down 3 to go. Different as well as decent value in the low $20s.
Cheers
