The Harvey family's grape-growing legacy spans six generations in the heart of South Australia, with a footprint that now graces six meticulously cultivated vineyards across the enchanting McLaren Vale wine region.

Dating back to 1897, their home vineyard lays the foundation for this narrative, where century-old vines continue to bear fruit—an enduring symbol of the family's dedication to the craft. At Chalk Hill, wines transcend mere libations; they unfold an experience that unveils the unique terroir of McLaren Vale, showcasing the labor of love from vineyard to bottle.

The region's Mediterranean climate, featuring cool, wet winters and warm, dry summers, sets the stage for cultivating premium grapes. Each vineyard boasts distinctive soil types and topographies, creating diverse microenvironments that contribute to the singular character of their wines. With expert viticultural management, they meticulously harness these unique factors, producing grapes of unparalleled character and allure—the essence of their highly sought-after wines.
