McLaren Vale is one of Australia’s finest wine regions, consistently recognised at international and national wine show for the quality, power and grace of its wines. It is a region rich in history, being the birthplace of the South Australian wine industry and possessing a unique heritage including some of the world’s oldest grape vines and many characters recognised as the fathers of Australian wine. Nestled between rolling hills and a picturesque coastline, McLaren Vale’s Mediterranean climate has created ideal conditions for grapegrowing and ensured that the region is recognised as a leader in environmentally sustainable viticulture.

Chapel Hill’s mantra is to produce wines with pure varietal and regional characters, which have power and grace, balance and texture.
