Unparalleled Varietals from McLaren Vale

This diversity is on full display in our latest collection, which showcases the exceptional quality and complexity that can be found in the wines of this remarkable area.

Shiraz: The Signature Grape of McLaren Vale

No exploration of McLaren Vale wines would be complete without a deep dive into the region's renowned Shiraz offerings.

Our selection of Shiraz wines from the 2022 vintage is a true testament to the region's winemaking prowess. From the bold, full-bodied expressions that showcase the region's signature black fruit and spice notes to the more elegant, nuanced styles that highlight the grape's inherent complexity, each bottle is a masterclass in the art of Shiraz winemaking.

Cabernet Sauvignon: A Regal Presence in McLaren Vale

While Shiraz may be the region's most renowned varietal, the wines of McLaren Vale also boast a regal presence in the form of Cabernet Sauvignon. This noble grape thrives in the region's warm, sunny climate, producing wines of remarkable structure, depth, and age-worthiness.

Our latest Cabernet Sauvignon releases showcase the incredible diversity of this varietal within the McLaren Vale appellation.

Chardonnay: A Refreshing Counterpoint to the Reds

While the reds of McLaren Vale may steal the spotlight, the region's white wines are no less deserving of attention. Chardonnay, in particular, has found a home in the vineyards of the Vale, where the cool, maritime-influenced climate and well-drained soils produce grapes of exceptional quality and balance.

Our selection of Chardonnay releases showcases the versatility of this beloved varietal, with styles ranging from the crisp, unoaked expressions that highlight the grape's natural acidity and citrus notes to the more complex, barrel-fermented offerings that boast layers of creamy texture and subtle oak influence.
