Suppliers of superior grapevine materials
Riverland Vine Improvement Committee Inc (RVIC) is a not for profit organisation serving the vine industry for 45 years.
RVIC specialise in the supply of Vinifera and Rootstock cuttings and grafted vines. RVIC are now one of Australia's largest, most reliable source of quality vine material.
To establish the 80ha source vineyards at Monash, RVIC have obtained vines from local trials, recognised collections throughout Australia and overseas imports.
The range of varieties and clones available to growers through RVIC is the result of many years of extensive clonal selection and breeding.
This work has been carried out by numerous individuals, companies, industry groups within Australia and overseas breeders.
These source vineyards are specially grown to promote healthy, high quality cuttings.
Objectives
Identify the clones with high health status and performance
Promote interest in, and improve knowledge of new varieties
Produce and supply improved vine material to meet the changing requirements of the grape industry
To achieve these objectives the Committee arranged the planting of registered Source Blocks and trials in commercial vineyards
throughout the Riverland. In 1977 these blocks produced RVIC's first vine material for sale to local growers.
In 1983 Riverland Vine Improvement expanded their cutting business to include a commercial grafted vine and rootling nursery.
Over the past 40 years RVIC has strived to ensure quality products are delivered to the customer.
The focus on quality has seen the nursery develop a trusted and regarded reputation for their products and service throughout Australia.
