Shingleback Vineyards
McLaren Valley Australia

Let the Davey brothers introduce you to McLaren Vale, one of Australia’s most renowned wine growing areas. During the 1990’s,
Kym & John Davey brought their combined expertise in winemaking, farming & business,
to continue & develop the estate first farmed by their Grandfather in 1957.
Their goal was, and remains, to produce affordable, quality wines that express the true character of McLaren Vale.

The sustainably managed family estate has a predominantly Shiraz & then Cabernet Sauvignon focus.
The smaller plantings of Chardonnay & Semillon also benefit from John’s fastidious winemaking skills,
 instilled during his early days as a specialist white winemaker.

From it’s genesis in 1998, when the first wine (Shingleback Shiraz) was released under the Shingleback label,
 the Shingleback portfolio has grown into a collection of fine wines that include Shingleback, Red Knot
 and The Gate. Each made in its distinct style, these wines showcase the best the McLaren Vale region has to offer.
They also represent a family committed to producing outstanding wines from the land they love.
