Sevenhill Cellars, steeped in history and tradition, stands as Clare Valley's original winery, with its roots tracing back to the mid-nineteenth century when Jesuits fleeing persecution in Europe sought refuge in Australia. This vineyard was established with a profound purpose - to produce sacramental wine, while also laying the groundwork for a community centred around faith and agriculture. Today, Sevenhill Cellars is renowned not just for its spiritual heritage but also for its exceptional range of wines, including Riesling, Shiraz, Cabernet Sauvignon, and unique varietals like Touriga Nacional and Barbera. The winery's dedication to traditional winemaking techniques, combined with a focus on estate-grown fruit, ensures each bottle is a testament to the Clare Valley's distinct terroir and the winery's enduring legacy.
