Located just 40 minutes south of Adelaide, McLaren Vale has a deep viticultural and winemaking history that dates back almost as far as the state of South Australia itself.

The very first vines were planted here just two years post-settlement - and, as they say, the rest is history.

Since those early days full of tenacity, grit and heady optimism, the region has grown into the tight-knit community it is today, full of like-minded individuals dedicated to producing wine the right way - sustainably.

And the industry-driven Sustainable Australia Winegrowing (SAW) initiative - that encourages sustainable practices in both the vineyard and winery - is proof of this commitment. 

In fact, over 70% of McLaren Vale’s total annual crush comes from growers who are proud SAW members. 

That’s because we know we have a legacy to protect.

Home to some of the world’s oldest vines, it’s our duty as vignerons and winemakers to safeguard and nurture this incredible region for generations still to come.

Biodynamic farming is not magic, nor is it a mystical belief that relies more upon hope than science. Biodynamics is simply a way of farming that enhances the soil and the environment around it through natural improvers rather than chemical sprays.
