Clare Valley's original winery, established by the Jesuits in 1851, Sevenhill still make all their wines from fruit grown to seventy two priceless hectares of estate vineyard, the ancient wineworks are nestled amongst the vines, very near the historic St Aloysius Church. Today's approach to winemaking is all about the encouraging harvests of the most intensely flavoured fruit off an endowment of low yielding vines, followed by traditionally small batch, old world winemaking techniques to extract rich opaque flavours and a measure of fine silky tannins.
