5 Star Winery - Halliday Wine Companion
"A leading medium-sized winery in the region." - James Halliday
"Chapel Hill Winery is named after our iconic ironstone Chapel, built by Methodist settlers to the McLaren Vale area and officially opened on December 5, 1865... The Chapel began its next chapter in the early 1970’s... Thomas Nelson purchased the building and surrounding land from the Uniting Church and planted the first vines on the site in 1972, the foundation for the current Chapel Hill Winery... The growth of Chapel Hill Winery into a world-renowned wine producer was led by winemaker Pam Dunsford. Pam was a pioneering winemaker in South Australia. The first female graduate of the acclaimed winemaking course at Roseworthy in 1983, Pam’s work led to many acclaims and awards for Chapel Hill Winery, a lot of those great wines from the 1990’s are still drinking beautifully today." - Chapel Hill
