Shottesbrooke, located in McLaren Vale, was founded in 1981 by Nick Holmes, who planted his first vineyard near Myponga. Today, under the leadership of winemaker and general manager Hamish Maguire, the winery crafts exceptional wines from estate-owned and managed vineyards in McLaren Vale and the Adelaide Hills. These regions are celebrated for their Shiraz, Merlot, and Cabernet Sauvignon, which form the backbone of Shottesbrooke's diverse portfolio.
With a focus on sustainability, innovation, and a strong connection to the land, Shottesbrooke combines traditional techniques with modern winemaking. Their wines consistently receive high praise, including prestigious accolades such as 5-star ratings in the Australian Wine Companion. The estate is also home to The Currant Shed restaurant, offering a complete wine and dining experience that reflects the essence of McLaren Vale.
The Shottesbrooke Cellar Door, built in 1994, provides a serene setting surrounded by vineyards and framed by views of the Mount Lofty Ranges. Guests can enjoy hosted wine tastings in the spacious tasting room or relax in the courtyard garden. The Cellar Door offers an engaging exploration of their wines, all crafted onsite, with knowledgeable staff guiding visitors through their portfolio.
In addition to tastings, Shottesbrooke offers unique experiences like the "From the Ground Up" tasting tour, private picnics at the rustic Picker’s Hut, and behind-the-scenes winery tours. Visitors can enhance their experience with a meal at The Currant Shed, located just a short walk from the Cellar Door.
