Taborco Vineyards are set in the undulating hills of the McLaren Vale wine growing region, and in close proximity to the sea, Mt Lofty ranges and less than an hour from Adelaide CBD. Blewitt Springs is home to some of the oldest vines in the region, has the highest altitude of 150-210 metres, highest rainfall and coolest winters of the valley.
The home block vineyard was planted in 1998 using the Blewitt Springs clone. The vines are on east facing slopes with rows running north to south. The ancient sand in this area is the Burra Group, circa 750million years old. The mid and bottom of the block is sand over clay and the top is sand over laminated grey siltstone.
The size of the vineyards are approximately 50 acres consisting of Shiraz, Grenache, Fiano, Mataro, Arinto and Nero vines, and produces approximately 2 ton/ acre of grapes with the result being a robust, fruit driven wine with excellent cellaring potential.
The vineyard is certified as organic and Biodynamic
