McLaren Vale’s success lies not only in the quality of its wines and the careful custodianship of its old vines but in the collective wisdom of those who tend its soils and shape its future. Generations of growers, makers and thinkers have treated this land as both teacher and collaborator — reading its geology, adapting to its shifting climate, and allowing its personality to speak through every glass.
