Nugan Estate is run by the third generation of a family that emigrated from Spain in 1938 when that country was racked with civil war. The company now has vineyards in five different regions of Australia and produces a wide range of wines. Matthew Nugan is the chief executive. They have a long and successful relationship with SuperValu. Both wines today are from single vineyards, the chardonnay from the cooler King Valley, the shiraz from the McLaren Vale, close to Adelaide.
