Bruce and Jenni Chalmers began growing grapes in the 1980s, then began a nursery business, which is now responsible for importing close to 70 new clones and varieties into Australia. The 86-acre ‘Mother Block’ estate is the heart of the Chalmers family as well as the location of their family home and business. Millions of vines planted throughout Australia are sourced from this distinctive vineyard. Certified by Sustainable Winegrowing Australia, the Mother Block Vineyard prioritizes sustainability through solar energy, water conservation, lightweight glass bottles, recycled paper labels, and soil-friendly farming methods. This juicy fresh red isn’t just good for the planet, it’s a certified gulpable crowd pleaser with notes of tart cherry, pomegranate, and plum.
