It is now owned by Chris Milner and has contract growers throughout the Adelaide Hills for the Chain of Ponds label, two single-vineyard reds from Kangaroo Island, and the Novello blends with a SA appellation. Exports to the UK, the US, Canada, Singapore, Vietnam, Hong Kong, Philippines, China and NZ.

Chain of Ponds was established in 1985 on the outskirts of Gumeracha, approximately 4km from the original Chain of Ponds township which was razed in the early 1970's and from which it is named. Four thousand vines were initially planted covering 9 varieties, consisting of 470 vines of each variety. This was further increased with an additional 150 acres planted in 1989. The first vintage was 1988. The winery was sold in 2004 to the present owners who now source fruit from a much broader area of the region, which has added further complexities and subtleties to the wines themselves. The winery produces a diverse range of products from the Adelaide Hills, concentrating on varieties that thrive in this cool climate region.
