Chalk Hill Vineyards
For more than 40 years, the Harvey family has been growing premium quality wine grapes. In 1996, they also started producing premium wine at Chalk Hill. The grapes in Chalk Hill wines are primarily sourced from four family-owned vineyards in the McLaren Vale district, 40 kilometres south of Adelaide in South Australia. McLaren Vale's Mediterranean type climate of cool, wet winters and warm, dry summers provides perfect growing conditions for premium grapes.
The vineyards are spread across the McLaren Vale district, with each having a different soil type and topography, providing unique growing environments for the grapes. They take these unique factors and combine them with expert viticultural management to produce grapes of distinct character and appeal that make our wines so sought after.
Brothers Jock and Tom Harvey are the third generation of the family to manage the Estate owned vineyards that were first planted in the 1890's. Besides having some fantastic vineyards, Jock is one of the most highly regarded grape-growers in Australia.

So what is a Secret worth sharing?
We seek out and recommend the best wines from around Australia and overseas. Quality creations from boutique, family-owned and hidden-away wineries. You won't normally find these wines on the retail shelves and if you can, they're always in limited supply. We call them ‘authentic wines from authentic wine families'.
