There's Magic At Metala»
Right around the time that Frank Potts was planting his nascent Bleasdale Vineyards during the 1850s, an eccentric Prussian named Herman Daenke established a homestead along the banks of Bremer River, which he called Metala. The site was planted to viticulture by Arthur Formby in 1891 and became one of Langhorne Creek's most productive vineyards, it continues to supply fruit for a number of prestigious national brands. Legendary winemaker Brian Dolan took the radical step of bottling Metala under its own label in 1959 and won the inaugural Jimmy Watson Trophy in 1962. Two generations later, the brothers Tom and Guy Adams took a similar leap of faith and branded their Metala fruit as Brothers In Arms. The quality of wine re established Metala as a vineyard of global significance and claimed George Mackay Trophy as Australia's foremost export. Cohorts of the stately Langhorne Creek style will be pleased by the palate weight, structure and seamlessness of Brothers In Arms, grown, crafted and bottled by a family who have been supplying..

Maglieri
Giovanni Maglieri arrived in McLaren Vale in 1958 and worked in the vineyards of Pirramimma Wines

Five years later, Giovanni’s 17-year-old son, Steve, arrived in Australia. Then, in 1965, the pair bought 40 hectares of McLaren Vale scrub and set about the task of clearing it and planting vines. In 1972 Steve started his own winery Gully Wines, which he renamed Maglieri Wines in 1977.

Maglieri

Steve wanted to create distinctive and characterful McLaren Vale wines, and when John Loxton joined Maglieri in 1981, the pair was able to establish their own style. The quality of their wines improved steadily, and by the early 1990s Maglieri was well positioned at the top of the McLaren Vale tree. John Loxton was judged to have made the Best Red Wine in McLaren Vale in 1992, and was made Bushing King. Further show successes came throughout Australia and overseas throughout that decade.

One of Maglieri’s greatest achievements has been its sensational success at the International Wine Challenge in London. Twice the Maglieri Shiraz has beaten all comers and been voted Best Shiraz of the Competition. It can be said truly, that Maglieri wines lead the world

With a wide range of single varietal distinctive wines, Maglieri is well known for being character filled and at the forefront of winemaking in the McLaren Vale region. Maglieri now offers a very fine Lambrusco range that is a tribute to Maglieri’s Italian beginnings. Amabile is Italian for soft and mellow, and the easy drinking Maglieri Amabile offers a hint of spritz, in a soft, fruity, uncomplicated wine that is bright garnet red in the glass with a gentle hint of bubbles, Lambrusco at it’s very best.
