Wine Summary Image

Summers in McLaren Vale are often accompanied by the arrival of magnificent Cape Barren Geese. These rare and striking birds, once feared near extinction, are the inspiration for our name.

Cape Barren Wines first vintage was in 1999, and the philosophy has and always will be to source the very highest quality of grapes, from regions most suited to each variety, and then craft exceptional world class wines of outstanding value.

Our reds are produced from the world renowned McLaren Vale region, from vines older than 45 years, and up to 120 years old. These seriously old vines produce wines of supreme concentration and complexity not seen in younger vines. It is this history on which we will build our future.

The whites are sourced from Adelaide Hills vineyards grown above 400 metres from sea level. Here the temperatures drop dramatically, especially at night, and the soils can be demanding and unforgiving, leading to smaller, more intensely flavoured fruit.

Sourced from three vineyards 45-70yo, crushed separately, 8 days on skins in upright static fermenters, twice-daily pumpovers, run off skins at 2 degrees baume. It's medium-bodied, reflecting the freshness of the fruit and its pliable texture. Oak and tannins both do what is expected of them.

Winery Profile

Cape Barren, named after the rare Cape Barren Geese that are regular visitors to the vineyard, is the passion of owners Brian Ledgard & Peter Matthews.

The unique McLaren Vale maritime climate offers long warm summers cooled by afternoon ocean breezes, thus providing the ideal ripening conditions for grapes destined for full-bodied red wine.

All fruit for Cape Barren Old Vine Shiraz is sourced from a single seventy year old vineyard at Blewitt Springs that has previously been used to produce some of South Australia's icon wines.

Pretty, floral character here with red fruit, stony nuances and ripe dark plums. The palate has a sleek delivery of quite intense, darker plums and berries. Supple texture. Drink or hold.
