Talunga Estate Competitors

Since 1912 the Osborn family have tended vineyards in McLaren Vale, South Australia. Today fourth generation family member, Chester, makes distinctive wines using traditional methods both in the vineyard and the winery.

Huntington Estate currently makes a Special Reserve Shiraz and Cabernet Sauvignon. These Estate grown, made and bottled wines represent the best Huntington has to offer in any given vintage. After 45 vintages, we can generally predict which Blocks in our vineyard will produce the best fruit. The grapes for the Special Reserve wines come from the best blocks in the vineyard (best clones, planted on the best sites). The vines are carefully pruned by our own Vineyard team for low yields and extra care is paid to vine health. In the winery, these superior grapes are also given the best treatment. Tim and team invest the more time crafting these wines. They are fermented in open oak fermenters, they spend two years in the finest oak barrels and are handled with utmost care.

The Lloyd Brothers, David and Matthew are third generation South Australian vignerons. Their grandfather started planting vines and making wine in McLaren Vale in the 1960’s. David and Matthew now have their individual vineyards in the Adelaide Hills and McLaren Vale. David owns and operates Lloyd Brothers Wine and Olive Company with his 65-hectare McLaren Vale Estate being home to the winery and cellar door. The Lloyd Brothers McLaren Vale Estate comprises 16 hectares Shiraz, 3 hectares Grenache and just under 1 hectare of Mourvèdre and is home to the first commercially planted Kalamata olive grove in South Australia. In 2015 David purchased the Miegunyah Vineyard on The Range in the southern region of the Adelaide Hills overlooking McLaren Vale. Miegunyah is a beautiful 45-hectare property with just over 25 hectares planted to vines. Most recently David has planted 2 hectares of what is believed to be the first Picpoul Blanc planted in the Adelaide Hills along with 1 hectare of Prosecco to complement the well-established Syrah, Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Grigio. Matthew’s vineyards are located in the Adelaide Hills sub region of Lenswood giving Lloyd Brothers contrasting characteristics when creating and defining the range of cool climate wines they produce. Lloyd Brothers wines and olives are hand crafted to highlight the best fruit grown on the Estates with their McLaren Vale property also playing host to impressive festivals and events.
