BEHIND THE NAME - THE RIFLEMAN STORY

The Kimbolton super premium range of wines, The Rifleman Series, is dedicated to the Riflemen in the family who have made us extremely proud of their achievements, representing both South Australia and Australia. Between them, they have won several King's/Queen's aggregates and a prized world championship.

Len Case's involvement in the historic Langhorne Creek Rifle Club (operating from 1924–1984) is of significant importance to him and the family, particularly since his father, also a vigneron, was among the founding members and held the position of Club Captain.

Reward yourself today and grab a box of these luxurious wines to enjoy over the next decade or two, just like the Riflemen in our family did when they tasted success.

It is this strong family tradition that also led us to name our Wine Club, the Clubhouse.
