dry table wines helped shape a new era of production. McLaren Vale had come full circle, and with the state remaining free from the devastation of phylloxera, the future of fine wine was secured. Cradled by the southern Mount Lofty Ranges to the south and east, and the Gulf St Vincent to the west, McLaren Vale today boasts 7,335 hectares under vine, 90 cellar doors, and more than 190 operating wineries. Its reputation for producing some of Australia’s finest wines rests on the careful custodianship of old vines, a wealth of established brands, and the pioneering spirit of forward-thinking individuals.
