McLaren Vale is for us the best region in Australia to achieve the wine styles that we want to produce. This vineyard and winery – which was originally established back in 1975 – offers us 30 acres of mature vines that contribute rich fruit characters so typical of McLaren Vale.

Our long, dry growing season can often become an “Indian Summer” allowing us to create Shiraz, Cabernet Sauvignon and Chardonnay rich in fruity aromas and flavours and balanced nicely in the reds with soft approachable tannins. We are also playing around with some new varieties to the district, namely Zinfandel and Viognier and we are very excited about the quality of these wines to date.
