The Orchard Cabernet Sauvignon 2021

Not so many years ago, McLaren Vale to Willunga was as well known for almond production, with 5000 acres of orchards across the plains to the sea. With the rising reputation of McLaren Vale as a wine region, the vines won out and the almond orchards were replaced.

Our old almond orchard was the perfect site for a Cabernet vineyard. All that remains of the orchard is an avenue of snowy white blossoming almond trees on the fence line, a reminder of an industry gone by.
