Mitchell Wines, James Halliday, Wine Companion 2016, Five Red Stars
One of the stalwarts of the Clare Valley, established by Jane and Andrew Mitchell, producing long-lived Rieslings and Cabernet Sauvignons in classic regional style. The Range now includes very creditable Semillon, Grenache and Shiraz. A Lovely old stone apple shed provides the cellar door and upper section of the upgraded winery. Children Angus and Edwina are now working in the business, heralding generational changes. Over the years the Mitchells have established or acquired 75ha of vineyards on four excellent sites, some vines over 50years old; all are managed organically, with the use of biodynamic composts for over a decade.
