The Meteoric Rise of McLaren Vale
McLaren Vale (or ‘Southern Barossa’ as cheekily coined by the mob up North) has enjoyed a meteoric rise in popularity over the past decade. Both the wine and the explosion of food culture as well makes it a must see when next in SA.
After weeks of torrential rain, our vineyard is drenched and the ground underfoot feels lovely and soggy. Even better, our dams are overflowing - which always gives us a great sense of relief as it means the vines will be safe in case of a scorching summer. All this means, we are ready for another fab season at our amazing place!
Block 4 is already showing great signs with large sections of it converted to cane pruning. The trials we ran in 2021 and 2022 showed a marked improvement in the quality of fruit, meaning our flagship wine, Block 4, will only get better.
