McLaren Vale is renowned as a wine region of great beauty that consistently produces high quality wines with rich flavours.Shingleback's vines are nourished by a favourable Mediterranean climate of wet winters, dry summers and plenty of sunshine. The proximity to St. Vincent Gulf, coincidentally named after the patron saint of winemakers, enhances the marvelous microclimes with warmer spring and autumn conditions, and has a cooling effect on the summers. The whole region produces some of South Australia's most full bodied and richly flavoured harvests of Chardonnay. Following harvest and fermentation, the components have been assembled into a delightfully unwooded wine.
