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, Small batches of grapes are gently crushed, chilled, and then basket pressed.\nTo add complexity and mouthfeel the wine is fermented and matured in a mixture of French and American oak for seven months. Since European settlement in the 1840s, olive trees have thrived in McLaren Vale. They are alongside roads, in gardens and occasionally, in the middle of the chardonnay vineyards.
