Manta Farms spans 117ha near Merbein West in Victoria’s Sunraysia.The Weekly Times | 18 May 2026 American investors to sell major Victorian table grape farms
by Tallis Miles
An American fund manager is preparing to sell its third Australian agricultural venture, listing one of the largest contiguous table grape vineyards in Victoria’s Sunraysia region.
California-based fund manager RRG Capital Management is selling Manta Farms, comprising a total landholding of 117ha, including 91ha planted to a diversified mix of proprietary table grape varieties.
It comes just weeks after RRG also listed for sale the largest almond orchard in South Australia, and one of two large-scale macadamia orchards in NSW’s Northern Rivers.
Acquired by RRG Capital in 2021, Manta Farms is for sale via expression of interest closing July 2 with Colliers Agribusiness agents Will Sumner, Duncan McCulloch, Jesse Manuel and Tim Altschwager.
No price guide has been offered.
“Manta Farms are a professionally developed horticultural asset that is substantially de-risked, with all major development works, capital expenditure and early growing years complete, providing investors with a long runway of stable future cash flows,” Mr Sumner said.
“Manta Farms has an 11-week harvest season that alleviates compressed and problematic timelines typically found among table grape properties in the Murray Darling Basin.”
The farm is supported by irrigation supplied via direct extraction from a Lower Murray Water pressures pipeline, totalling 1081 megalitres plus a VIC Murray Zone 7 High Reliability water entitlement of 50ML.
A vertically-integrated business, the property also offers onsite buildings and infrastructure including the 3351 square metre cold room and packing facility that has off-season capacity suitable for the storage of citrus or other crops.
These facilities provide the ability to produce high-quality fruit by adopting either a field pack or a shed-pack if necessary to meet the requirements of certain key export markets.
Earlier this month RRG Capital listed for sale the largest almond orchard in South Australia, as well as one of only two large-scale macadamia orchards in the Northern Rivers region of NSW, known as Koompartu and Nambucca respectively.
Covering more than 2500ha of almond plantings, Koompartu in SA’s Riverland has been subject to two years of improvements, delivered as one large contiguous development.
Meanwhile, Nambucca Farms is a fully rain-fed orchard featuring a modern varietal mix of macadamias, including established varieties and newer precocious cultivars with higher early yields.
Last year RRG Capital Management also moved to sell Talia Farms in South Australia’s Riverland region, offering 230ha of vineyards, growing 14 proprietary grape varieties, plus a state-of-the-art packing facility.
Owned separately via RRG Capital Management’s Global Partner Fund, Talia Farms were placed into liquidation in March this year, owing an assortment of creditors more than $60 million.
