As the timeless adage goes, great wine is made in the vineyard. No one understands this better than the team behind Vineyard Road, which was created in 2016 by The FABAL Group, a company who have 30 plus years’ experience managing over 1700 hectares of vineyards across Australia and 25 in winemaking, commemorating exceptional vintages with special bottlings.
Following decades of successfully growing grapes in some of Australia’s most premium winemaking regions, namely Barossa Valley, Clare Valley, McLaren Vale, Coonawarra, Padthaway, Adelaide Hills and Langhorne Creek (all South Australia), Margaret River (Western Australia) and Heathcote (Victoria), the team at FABAL decided to select small parcels of fruit from some of their favourite vineyards to bottle under their own brand, Vineyard Road.
Considering that nearly any road in these premium wine regions is heading towards one of their 20 estates, the name ‘Vineyard Road’ seemed apt.
