James' Review

A leading medium-sized winery in the region. In 2000 Chapel Hill was sold to the Swiss Thomas Schmidheiny group, which owns the respected Cuvaison winery in California as well as vineyards in Switzerland and Argentina. Wine quality is as good, if not better, than ever. Winemaker Michael Fragos was named Winemaker of the Year at London’s International Wine & Spirit Competition ’08. The production comes from the estate plantings of shiraz, cabernet sauvignon, chardonnay, verdelho, savagnin, sangiovese and merlot, together with purchased grapes from McLaren Vale. Exports to all other major markets.

CELLAR DOOR & ART GALLERY
There is no mistaking the origin of our name when you arrive at our cellar door, a site privileged with some of McLaren Vale’s most marvelous views. Taking its name from the historic ironstone chapel built in 1865, it has served as a local church, then parish school and now, our graceful cellar door.

The cellar door and adjacent barrel room also serve as an art gallery, promoting South Australian contemporary and indigenous artists.
