Lonely Road

About this wine from

South Eastern Australia, Australia

Lonely Road was the nickname given to the railway line that went from Adelaide to Darwin via Alice Springs, a journey of over 1,800 miles the majority of which was through the Australian wilderness. Over the years it became a key line of communication for the transport of goods from the South to the North and vice versa before air freight took over. The winemakers saw the potential and this became a fantastic opportunity for them to ensure their wines could be enjoyed in the Northern Territories. The route was originally called the Afghan Express so named after the Afghan camel drivers who, in the 19th century helped explore Australia’s remote interior.
