The band Men At Work was already singing about the beautiful country in the 1980s: Down Under! Australia, especially at the beginning of the last century, held an enormous appeal for many Europeans. The passionate Italian Domenico Calabria also took the plunge. In 1927, he decided to leave the authentic south of Italy behind and emigrate to Australia. He was joined there by his son in 1929, and his wife Elisabetta joined him in 1934. After saving considerably, they were able to establish the magnificent winery Calabria Family Wines & Sons in 1945, located in New South Wales, about 500 kilometers inland from Sydney.
The wines of Kings of Prohibition
After the winery's founding, it wasn't long before the second generation joined the family. In 1966, it was the next generation's turn: Bill, Francesco's son. He had a knack for winemaking, and together with his brother Tony, they gradually expanded the winery. Gradually, the wines of Calabria Family Wines became a popular guest in Australia. This is largely thanks to Bill, who significantly expanded the winery, particularly in the 1990s. Now, the next generation is ready to start making wine.
Order Kings of Prohibition Chardonnay Stella Beloumant wine
This white wine from Australia, in its unique bottle, pays tribute to Prohibition in California at the beginning of the last century. This period of Prohibition in California was a turbulent time, with many people attempting to circumvent the law. One of the most notorious smugglers was Stella Beloumant, a woman still infamous to many Nevada sheriffs. This white wine is made with Chardonnay from Southeast Australia. It is a soft wine with a surprisingly gentle flavor. Fresh pineapple, pure mango, and a hint of nectarine. The characteristic buttery note is clearly detectable in the finish of Kings of Prohibition Chardonnay Stella Beloumant.
