Shingleback is a family-owned wine estate handcrafting rich, fruit-forward Shiraz, Cabernet Sauvignon,<br />
Chardonnay, Rosé and Grenache from South Australia’s premier growing region, the McLaren Vale. They<br />
utilize innovative canopy management and progressive farming techniques to produce wines of exceptional<br />
quality and character.<br />
The wines are the pride of John Davey, a veteran Australian winemaker, who has worked throughout the<br />
Barossa Valley, Langhorne Creek and Yarra Valley as well as the McLaren Vale since the early 1990s. He and<br />
his brother Kym co-manage the family's Davey Family Vineyard. "When you own your own vineyard and make<br />
your own wines, you manage the site right down to the individual vine," John Davey explains. "I select the<br />
best blocks for our wines, then pick them at the precise moment both sugars and flavours are mature. With<br />
the right fruit, minimal handling is required and the character of the growing region and the grape shines<br />
through."<br />
Shingleback was short listed for Australian Producer of the Year in the IWSC 2006, and won the prestigious Jimmy Watson Trophy for best<br />
young wine at the 2006 Royal Melbourne Show for their D. Block Cabernet Sauvignon 2004.<br />
