Our vineyard was planted by the family three decades ago and continues to be cultivated by three generations, each playing a hands-on role.
Set on the meeting point of McLaren Vale's Blewitt Springs and Seaview subregions, our estate is shaped by an extraordinary diversity of soils and elevations, allowing us to match each variety to the site where it thrives.
The deep sandy soils of Blewitt Springs provide the ideal home for our Grenache, producing wines of perfume and elegance. Across the estate, our Nero d'Avola and Mourvèdre is found in the clay-rich soils and Blanche Point limestone of the Seaview subregion, developing depth, structure and character. This unique patchwork of terroir is at the heart of everything we grow, influencing every wine.

Blewitt Springs Shiraz Vineyard
The very first vineyard planted by our grandparents in the late 1990s, this block sits on a gentle north-facing slope with rows running north to south. The soils are deep sandy loam, threaded with seams of tiny river stones and occasional ironstone spurs. Today, the vineyard is nearly dry-grown, requiring only minimal irrigation during extreme heat which produces fruit with purity, concentration, and character.
-
Seaview Shiraz Vineyard
A small but mighty site with just 14 rows, this block is planted east to west and gently rises to the east. The soils are heavy, dark loamy clay over Blanche Point limestone, which results in low yields, small bunches, and tiny berries. The fruit from this vineyard consistently delivers structure, depth, and complexity in the wines it produces.

Fiano Vineyard
Grafted onto Shiraz vines from the late 1990s, this block sits on deep sandy loam soils with rows running east to west. It’s Nana’s favourite vineyard, she still spends most days tending the vines.
-
Grenache Vineyard
Planted in 2023 on a steep, south-facing sandy hillside, this block was established using cuttings from our neighbour’s vineyard. It’s already surpassed expectations, producing standout fruit in its first season. Look out for its debut in our upcoming rosé - a fresh, vibrant expression of site and variety.
-
Cinsault Vineyard
Planted in 2023 using cuttings from the oldest known Cinsault vineyard in McLaren Vale, this young block carries the promise of heritage and character. We’re excited to see how it develops in the seasons to come.
-
Mourvèdre Vineyard
Grafted onto Shiraz in 2024, this young vineyard is already showing incredible promise, thriving beautifully in its first stages. We’re excited about the potential for single-varietal expressions, possibly leaning toward a Monastrell style - as well as blends with our Shiraz and Grenache in the near future.
-
Nero d'Avola Vineyard
Grafted onto 25 year old Shiraz in 2024 and established in heavy, dark loamy clay soils overlying Blanche Point limestone.
