Monarto Safari Park

Doing a little good with every glass you pour.

Zoos SA is proud to partner with six wineries from the Langhorne Creek region as part of the ‘Grapes for good’ initiative. Kimbolton Wines, Bleasdale, Bremerton, Lake Breeze, The Winehouse and Vineyard Road wineries have come together to create a unique mix of wines to support our conservation efforts with part proceeds from the sale of these wines supporting Zoos SA’s conservation mission.

‘Grapes for good’ is proof that wine can be a force for good. Every drop can go a little further and make a real difference.

If you care about animals and you love wine, there’s never been a more exciting time to visit our six winery partners based in Langhorne Creek to grab a bottle of our limited-edition ‘Grapes for good’ wines.

With more than 70% of the species at Monarto Safari Park threatened with extinction in the wild, your support is vital and keeps the fight to save these species from extinction alive.

Bleasdale Wines - Zebra - Grapes for Good bottle

Bleasdale

Mulberry Tree Cabernet Sauvignon
For many, the name Mulberry Tree is synonymous with Bleasdale. Named after the century-old mulberry tree in the vineyard, this is an ever reliable Cabernet Sauvignon with aromas of mixed berries, dark chocolate and violets, finishing with soft and subtle tannins.

Supporting the Plains Zebra

With numbers decreasing in the wild, the Plains Zebras could soon be in a ‘stripe’ of trouble.
As Langhorne Creek’s founding winery with over 170 years of history, Bleasdale is proud to be partnering with Monarto Safari Park and Zoos SA to contribute to help save Plains Zebra from extinction.

Bremerton Wines - Lemur - Grapes for Good bottle

Bremerton Wines

Mollie & Merle Verdelho
Verdelho is perfectly suited to our region’s climate and growing conditions. We chose to make a fresh, vibrant style expressing the pure varietal characters. Using only free run juice, results in a clean, focused Verdelho with lifted perfumed citrus aromas, a bright and textural palate with fine acid balance and great length of flavour.

Cute they may be, but Ring-tailed Lemurs are in deep trouble in the wild. Classified as endangered with habitat loss and poaching the biggest threats to the wild population, Bremerton Wines is proud to support Monarto Safari Park and Zoos SA to help Ring-tailed Lemurs stay a leap ahead of extinction!

Kimbolton Wines - Giraffe- Grapes for Good bottle

Fiano
An ancient Italian wine grape variety, well suited to the growing conditions in Langhorne Creek.
This Fiano shows crisp, citrus characters with delicious fresh pear, honey hints and a rich texture on the palate. Drink now either on its own, with fresh seafood or a delicious goats cheese tart.

Supporting the giraffe

The gentle giants of the savannah, giraffes need our help! With less than 70,000 estimated to roam their home in Africa these animals are at risk of extinction. The population decline has been referred to as a ‘Silent Extinction’. That’s why Kimbolton Wines are joining forces with Monarto Safari Park and Zoos SA to stop the silent extinction and raise funds for giraffe conservation before it’s too late.

Our signature Langhorne Creek Shiraz displays lifted aromas of spice, dark cherry and plum. The palate is rich full-flavoured forest fruits and vanilla, finishing with delicate soft tannins. It was vinified using a combination of fermentation styles and American oak.

Supporting the meerkat

Just like a well-made Shiraz, you’ll be pressed to find someone who doesn’t love Meerkats. They’re social, full of personality and a little bit cheeky – just like our team at Vineyard Road!
