- Description
Mourvèdre is such a charismatic variety, particularly when it is encouraged to explore it’s full seductive potential.
It is a variety that is difficult to stereotype as it exhibits both brooding ambition and an introverted decadence. This wine displays dense and interwoven layers of spice, tar and marzipan and treads a fine line between muscular power and restrained finesse.- Body

- Winemaking Notes
Chapel Hill Winery was built on the site of the historic Seaview Chapel. The Chapel was built in 1865 and now serves as our tasting room. The first vines were planted at Chapel Hill in 1972 and the first vintage was in 1975.
“At Chapel Hill there exists a deep respect for our land and vines, this inspires our vision to handcraft wines with purity and balance. All of the grapes and wines are handled gently, in small batches to showcase the wonderful site and varietal characters of McLaren Vale.”
Winemakers: Michael Fragos and Bryn Richards
