The Distinctive and Diverse Varieties of McLaren Vale

Discover the distinctive and diverse varieties of McLaren Vale as three representatives from iconic wineries bring the region to life and explore some of the lesser known but hugely important grape varieties that thrive in the region in a discussion hosted by Madeleine Stenwreth MW.

While the main varieties found in the region are Australian stalwarts such as Shiraz, Cabernet Sauvignon, Grenache, and Chardonnay, McLaren Vale’s temperate climate and proximity to the ocean makes it perfect for grape varieties more commonly found along the Mediterranean basin.
