WINe

Ruby Riviera’s wine list is a harmonious blend of Mediterranean magic and Australian artistry.

While we pay homage to the time-honored traditions of Mediterranean winemaking, we proudly spotlight the innovative expressions from our local Australian vintners who echo similar styles and passion.

Our list is a global journey, starting with wines that are light and pristine, reminiscent of a gentle Mediterranean breeze and culminating in deeper, more powerful expressions that evoke sun-kissed terroirs from around the globe. Dive into a symphony of European, Mediterranean and Australian notes, where each bottle is a testament to the shared traditions and diverse innovations of winemakers worldwide.
