‘Wines worth discovering; from our family to yours.’

Hailing from the windswept south-eastern corner of South Australia, these small-batch, cool-climate wines are elegant and packed with robust flavours.

Honouring Altschwager history, Carpenter Rocks takes its name from the small town near Mount Gambier where the family has farmed for 150 years.

A rugged coastline, historic shipwrecks, soaring strong winds and green paddocks; this drop is truly a product of an untamed land and fertile soils.

Fruit sourced from a nearby vineyard is ripened in soil rich in oceanic and volcanic influences.

One of Australia’s best kept wine secrets; a secret best shared with your nearest and dearest.

Discover a taste for Mount Gambier wines—crafted by Altschwager Kenneally and best served as they were created.

In Good Company.
