Vine Vale, Barossa Valley, South Australia.
The Vine Vale subregion is steeped in ancient geological history. The land here once lay beneath a system of inland lakes that shifted, drained and reformed for over 65 million years, leaving behind a mosaic of sediments and creating the deep, sandy loams that now define this site.
The soil is low in fertility and free-draining, encouraging the vine’s roots to reach deep and enabling them to thrive in the seemingly harsh conditions. Cooling breezes sweep through Vine Vale from the western ranges, tempering the heat of summer and helping to preserve natural acidity. The result is wines of both delicacy and depth, shaped not just by sun and soil, but by the quiet memory of the landscape beneath it.
