Tapestry Wines
Located in the centre of South Australia's distinguished wine region of McLaren Vale, Tapestry Wines boasts a history that dates back to the initial purchase of a well-established vineyard in 1969 by the Starr family. The Olivers Road property changed hands several times in the ensuing years until it was purchased in 1997 by Gerard Industries, a prominent South Australian company. Since that time, this relatively small boutique label has gained widespread recognition both within Australia and overseas, successfully establishing distribution markets in the USA, UK and Asia-Pacific.

Paxton Wine
The home of Paxton Wines is known as Landcross Farm and is located 45 minutes from Adelaide's CBD, in the picturesque wine region of McLaren Vale. The historic property was established in the 1840's acting as a sheep and wheat farm in another life and is now a popular showpiece for the entire district. Aside from the Landcross Homestead, the Paxton name proudly encompasses approximately 200 acres of premium McLaren Vale soil across seven separate vineyards.

THE eKlection - Off the Vine, Series 2: Episode 9 (2002) Tapestry Vineyard
Director: Chris Jenkin
Cast: Michaela Cantwell, Chris Jarmer, Stephen John, John Edwards
Tapestry Vineyard: Formerly known as Merrivale, the winery was renamed Tapestry when the Clipsal Group, under the charter of Robert Gerard, bought it in 1997. This marked the beginning of significant developments, aimed at creating a premier boutique winery in the region. Originally farmed by early settlers, the Tapestry vineyards are divided into two separate areas. Twenty acres surround the winery cellar door and 80 acres are at Bakers Gully, an elevated sub-region of the McLaren Valley. The winery only produces super premium strict varietal table wines and not blended varietals. McLaren Vale is one of the few wine growing regions that have the ability to consistently produce high-quality fruit each year. The progress of the grapes in the vineyards is carefully monitored to ensure each variety achieves optimum ripeness prior to harvest. The vines at Baker’s Gully produce 30-year-old low yielding Shiraz, Cabernet Sauvignon and Riesling varieties growing in sandy loam over limestone. Recent plantings include Chardonnay and Verdelho. In the pursuit of quality, Tapestry adopts the philosophy that wines should be made that truly express their varietal and regional characteristics. Tapestry’s 2002 Riesling finished in The Advertiser Top 100 with a score of 94. Tapestry wines are now exported overseas to many countries including the UK.

God's Hill Wines
This family-owned winery boasts barrel-loads of winemaking tradition and Italian passion. Commencing operation in the late 1990s, the God's Hill label produces premium small-batch wines in the Barossa Valley. The God's Hill vineyard is situated in a locale that was once coined as, 'Poonawatta' by the indigenous tribe that inhabited the area. The word translates to mean, 'my fertile land' and the title still rings true today with the rich soil leading to wines that boast exceptional flavour, aroma and colour.
