READ OUR STORY
We acquired the vineyard in 2009 and two years later moved permanently from our home country Austria to South Australia to fully concentrate on the improvement of the vineyards and the establishment of our own brand Lot 333 Wines. Our principle is to process grapes mainly from our very own vineyards which allows us to control the entire process from pruning, growing and harvesting to crushing and bottling. Besides selling our wines in Australia we are pretty happy to export these beautiful McLaren Vale wines to Austria so that we can share our enthusiasm for this wine region with our families, friends and all wine lovers at home.

THE MCLAREN VALE WINE REGION
Only a half hour drive South of Adelaide is one of Australia's oldest winemaking regions. Driving over the first row of hills one is met with a vista of undulating vineyards surrounded by pretty townships with a backdrop of the wave-like South Lofty Ranges rolling to the sea. The township of McLaren Vale is central to this region, with Reynella and Clarendon to the North, Kangarilla on the Eastern Boundary, Aldinga on the coastal edge to the West, and in the South, Mount Compass and Sellicks Hill.
