The Wilson Vineyard is a boutique winery located in the elevated sub-region of Polish Hill River, part of the Clare Valley. Founded on a philosophy of minimal intervention, the winery is known for small-batch, low-tech winemaking techniques including hand plunging, whole bunch pressing and unfiltered wines with minimal preservatives. The result is a range of wines that are expressive, textural and full of character.
The Wilson family focuses on varieties well-suited to the cool climate and rocky soils of Polish Hill River, including Riesling, Shiraz, Cabernet Sauvignon, Tempranillo, Zinfandel and Merlot. Their approach combines traditional methods with a hands-on attention to detail, producing wines that speak clearly of place and season.
The Wilson Cellar Door offers a relaxed and welcoming space overlooking the scenic Polish Hill River landscape. Open on weekends, the experience is personal and authentic—often hosted by members of the Wilson family themselves. Guests can sample a variety of small-batch wines, learn about the hands-on winemaking techniques, and enjoy the vineyard views in a laid-back setting.
