Chapel Hill Vinedresser Grenache
The words "I am a true vine" feature within the ornate design of our iconic stained glass window. This scripture follows with "my father is a vinedresser", which inspires this tribute to the wonderful grape growers of McLaren Vale. The Vinedresser Grenache is a succulent wine. Small berries with thick skins deliver bright fruit flavours and abundant silky tannins.

Smidge "La Grenouille" Cabernet Sauvignon
Zonte's Footstep 1st Off The Rank McLaren Vale Cabernet
With its boisterous berry flavours and hallmark tannin structure, this wine hailed us down like a vocal New Yorker at rush hour. We fastidiously selected each barrel for this wine whereby it affectionately became known as the '1st off the rank'. With the lovely palate length and balance that make Cabernet Sauvignon 'king', it is full-bodied yet is no West Coast wanna-be. Made from fastidiously selected barrels, we are quietly confident that it will be the first wine you'll want to jump into at any lineup. Rich plum and blackcurrant flavours swerve into savoury liquorice and cedar notes, followed by a friendly toot of thyme .
Hugh Hamilton The Larrikin Shiraz Cabernet
Begins with a frisson of fine French oak and smoky sandalwood before plunging into a full fruit basket; plums, mulberries, blackberries, and blackcurrants. The palate pulses with fruit filled verve. Rosehip, and cocoa notes. Leather, bay, and thyme.
d’Arenberg The Galvo Garage Cabernet Sauvignon Merlot Cabernet Franc
The 2018 d’Arenberg The Galvo Garage Cabernet Merlot Cab Franc from McLaren Vale is a true gem from one of South Australia’s most esteemed wineries. With a deep ruby colour and a rich, complex bouquet of dark berries, vanilla, and cedar, this wine is a feast for the senses. On the palate, flavours of blackcurrant, plum, and spice are balanced by smooth tannins and a hint of oak. The addition of Cabernet Franc adds a touch of elegance and depth to the blend. This vintage is drinking beautifully now but also has the potential for further ageing. Pair it with a hearty beef dish or enjoy on its own to fully appreciate its full-bodied and velvety smooth texture. A true masterpiece from d’Arenberg, this wine is a must-try for any serious wine lover.
Fox Creek Wines Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon
Mr Riggs Shiraz
Made by Rockstar winemaker Ben Riggs, the McLaren Vale Shiraz is as true an expression as one could hope for. The fifth release of the wine is based around a core of pristine fruit with dark red berries, hints of spice, earth, tar and leather and with seamlessly integrated oak. Ripe tannins are apparent but not overwhelming, meaning this is a wine which can be enjoyed now or in the next 10-15 years.
Pirramimma Shiraz
Pirramimma Shiraz is full-fruited and powerful, with sweet plum and mocha along with cinnamon notes and dark chocolate which are all typical regional characters of McLaren Vale.
d'Arenberg The Footbolt Shiraz
d'Arenberg The Footbolt Shiraz is a firm favourite with many McLaren Vale Shiraz lovers and for good reason. This is another great example of the rich, full-bodied style with aromas of ripe blackberry and spice that mingle with minty peppery notes. The palate is full-flavoured, supple in texture with a velvety finish.
