About McLaren Vale
McLaren Vale is a wine region centred on the town of the same name, about 38 km south of central Adelaide. It runs some 30 km along Gulf St Vincent and east to the Mount Lofty foothills. Cereal crops came first, but John Reynell and Thomas Hardy planted vines in 1838. The forerunners of today's Seaview and Hardy wineries were working by 1850, and some vines over a century old still crop. The region is best known for dry reds from Shiraz, Cabernet Sauvignon and Grenache, much of the Grenache from dry-grown bush vines. Fiano and Vermentino are among its whites.
