A COMMERCIAL vineyard in South Australia’s McLaren Vale wine region, developed by winemaker David Paxton in the 1990s for a syndicate of Victorian investors, has hit the market.
Colliers wine industry specialists Tim Altschwager and Nick Goode have been appointed by the proprietors of Hiltops Vineyards Pty Ltd to handle the sale and marketing of the Hiltop Vineyards, situated on Malpas and Little Roads in Whites Valley. Expressions of Interest close Thursday, 30th March.
Plantings are predominantly premium red wine varietals including Shiraz and Cabernet Sauvignon, with a smaller area grafted to popular European varietals, Tempranillo, Vermentino, Fiano, Aglianico and Nero d’Avola.
