“Proudly Australian, more so McLaren Vale”. Penny's Hill is a well established McLaren Vale brand; established by Tony & Susie Parkinson in 1988. Wines can be tasted in modern cellars which, with acclaimed restaurant and contemporary gallery, have been blended into the surroundings of the original homestead and stone outbuildings. Idle chook watching or admiring the thoroughbred black faced sheep are popular visitor pastimes. Recognised by its distinctive 'red dot' packaging, the Penny's Hill range is made by winemaker and business partner Ben Riggs, who uses only estate-grown fruit from the Penny’s Hill McLaren Vale vineyards. The vineyards are managed lovingly by local viticulturists Toby Bekkers and David Paxton.
