Here's what’s open in McLaren Vale and Fleurieu Coast today. A great way to support local.
Overview
Since 1912 the Osborn family have tended vineyards in McLaren Vale, South Australia.
Today fourth generation family member Chester makes distinctive wines using traditional methods both in the vineyard and the winery. From entry level to iconic, d’Arenberg wines are basket pressed with red wines placed in small batch open fermenters and foot trod.
Known for an eclectic portfolio of oddly named wines and a bold red stripe that adorns each bottle, the range is considerable with over 80 wines and 37 grape varieties with styles that include white, red, fortified, sparkling and dessert.
In 2017, construction was completed on the d’Arenberg Cube. Inspired by the complexities and puzzles of winemaking, Chester created a five-story building modelled on the world’s most iconic puzzle - the Rubik’s Cube. Each of the five levels have been carefully designed to entice and excite the senses, including the d’Arenberg Cube’s South-East Asian inspired restaurant Singapore Circus, The Salvador Dali Exhibition and Sale, the Alternate Realities Museum with a 360 degree video room, virtual fermenter and sensory room, as well as wine experiences that challenge convention.
