McArthur Ridge wines are a true example of care and patience. Our small-batch creations exhibit the tradition, quality and care established from the start.

Springvale

The most recent addition to McArthur Ridge Wines Premier Cru collection, this hand-crafted Chardonnay is an extremely limited release of seven barriques. The Springvale name is inspired by the sub-region located on the outskirts of the Alexandra basin, named after the complex underground aquifers which are spring fed from glacial snow melt, enabling the land.

Falls Dam

Brassknocker
