We are off to a great start already.  Quality is looking really good.

Chardonnay was the first cab off the rank, including our beloved hand harvested Gorge Block Chardonnay.

The first of our Sangiovese rosé also came through – looks like being a cracker rosé year!

First batches of Shiraz grapes destined for The Parson Shiraz have hit the winery also – the pic is from today – looking delicious!

We have been out in all our blocks and are really happy with the way they are looking.  They all fared well during the heat and are now enjoying the cooler respite and ripening should move along quickly from here.

All is looking good for another awesome McLaren Vale vintage!

Tomorrow, Saturday 5 January 2018, marks the 40th anniversary of the opening of the Chapel Hill Cellar Door. We are proud to be one of the oldest Cellar Doors in McLaren Vale and think the anniversary is worth a celebration! Visit our Cellar Door tomorrow or Sunday to enjoy a complimentary tasting of our flagship wine,The Vicar, along with cheese and crackers in the original Cellar Door – now known as the Chapel Room…  The photo is of just this – did you ever visit the winery and do a tasting in the original Cellar Door?  We couldn’t fit all our lovely visitors in just one room anymore!

Great news from Chapel Hill this morning – we picked up two trophies at the Sydney Royal Wine Show Awards last night…

McLaren Vale Vermentino 2018 – Trophy for Best Other White Varietal

This wine is so suited to our maritime climate, coastal lifestyle and local food culture – such an easy-to-drink wine.

The Parson Cabernet Sauvignon 2017 – Trophy for Best Cabernet Sauvignon

Wonderful McLaren Vale varietal characters plus mouthfeel and structure – just delicious.

We are very proud of these achievements and hope you enjoy drinking our wares as much as we enjoy making them – get some while you can!
