McLaren Vale

Scarce Earth is a McLaren Vale initiative exploring and celebrating the geological climatic and soil diversity of the region. All wines come from a single block, a small plot of land with a unique flavour profile and personality.

A panel consisting of three local winemakers and three independent experts, assess each wine to ensure that site is expressed in the glass and the wine free of overt winemaking influences.

This project gives wine lovers at all levels the opportunity to explore the influence of site and the chance to taste some of the region’s best Shiraz vineyards.

Over time, Scarce Earth will be an invaluable resource for local winemakers and grape growers, as they strive to gain and unparalleled understanding of Australia’s most significant variety.

The 2011 vintage release will be celebrated at a public event held on April 27 at the beautiful grounds of the McLaren Vale and Fleurieu Visitor Centre. Click here for event details.
