Purchase Angove Wines

Produced in England since 1740, Stone’s Original Green Ginger Wine has been made in Australia to the same ancient formula by Angove’s Pty. Ltd. since the early 1960’s.

Ginger is one of the oldest herbs known to man and is popular in oriental cooking and confectionary. Ginger has also been linked with many therapeutic values.  The character of the ginger is drawn out by infusing it in spirit for an extended period. This infusion is then added to a neutral dry white wine, before it is then blended further with other components to make one of the varieties of fortified wines under the “Stone’s” family label.

Stone’s Original Green Ginger is a highly flavoured wine. The finest quality ginger is selected and whole ginger roots are dried and processed before despatch to Angove’s. We draw the character from the ginger root by infusing it in spirit for over a week. After this period of steeping, the infusion is added to a clean neutral dry white wine which is blended with other, secret, components before bottling. Stone’s Original Green Ginger is a rich golden brown colour with a powerful pungent ginger aroma. This spicy character follows on the palate where its zest is quite noticeable, but moderated by a softening sweetness. The aftertaste is fairly warming and this sensation contributes a certain glow to the palate.

Alc/Vol: 13.9%

"It’s a bit the same with Stones.  I admitted last year that fresh ginger and honey had become a regular cure for the common cold at our place – with the addition of some Stones Original.  Elaine has become more addicted to it than me and so the bottle’s often finished before my cold.  With the Original, it’s still the lively ginger beer aromatics, the gentle sweetness that is never cloying."

Geelong Advertiser - Phillip Stubbs - 14.06.08 - 7/10

“An oft companion and tall story spinner around the campfire, the classic Stone's Green Ginger Wine is finding a new life as a mixer, cocktail or even as a dessert sorbet. I drank it over ice, which allowed the more delicate spices to fill the gaps between the full ginger onslaught and allowed taste rather than alcohol to hit the palate. There are fine nuances to be enjoyed, so grab some and have a go exploring.”

“A recent sampling of the various Stones Green Ginger Wine products, made under licence in Australia by Angove’s, proved the products are as good as ever. Add a decent splash of Stones to a Thai green curry. Believe me, it works a treat!”

Australian Good Taste - Greg Duncan Powell - April 2008

“This golden-brown wine with a strong ginger aroma is the Hills Hoist of the Australian bar, a unique Aussie beverage that has several uses. Some love to use it as a marinade or to spice up a stir-fry, while others like to drink it straight or add a little to scotch, brandy or even beer. Its also great in cocktails.”
