Destination: ‘Rudderless, McLaren Vale’
The Rudderless Vineyards are grown in a five acre estate surrounding the
historic Victory hotel in the north of McLaren Vale. Hotel owner and wine
enthusiast Doug Goven collected cuttings from Australia’s top vineyards to
create a diverse and unique monople vineyard. The Lower Vineyard of 2.5
acres was planted in 1999, followed by a further 2.5 acres on the steeper
slopes of the Upper Vineyard in 2003. With winemaking assistance from Justin
McNamee (Samuel’s Gorge) Doug produces a range of classically styled McLaren
Vale wines from Shiraz, Graciano, Grenache, Malbec, Mataro and Viognier.
