About US

Welcome to the website of Willunga Creek Wines. This has been our labour of love since 1994, for it was that year that we turned the first sod in the paddock up on the hill behind our house – and began to establish a vineyard here in our little patch of McLaren Vale, one of Australia’s premier grape growing regions. It also happens to be an absolutely beautiful place to live and work and we couldn’t dream of being anywhere else.

Now, we have some 12 hectares planted out to Shiraz, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, and are really beginning to kick some goals since our first wine was released in 2002.

A Gold Medal for our Willunga Creek Black Duck Merlot at the 2007 London International Wine Challenge takes pride of place amongst a growing collection of awards and positive reviews from around the world. Please go to our reviews page to see details of other accolades our wines have received.

These awards are almost as important as the positive feedback we receive from visitors and customers and go a long way in reassuring us (and our bank manager) that we were right in picking a vineyard site up off the McLaren Vale floor, and on the higher elevations of the Willunga Hill escarpment. We believe it is the location of our vines and the unique micro-climate they enjoy, that sets them apart and provides our winemakers with such superior fruit from which to craft our wines.

We hope you’ll take the time to explore this web site and discover all about our Willunga Creek Wines. Perhaps you’ll be tempted to purchase from our direct mail facility. If you appreciate fine wine, we can guarantee that you won’t be disappointed.

Cheers,

David Cheesley
