Best of Vintage, Blend

History

Situated in the foothills of the Southern Mount Lofty
Ranges and bound to the west by the pristine waters of the Gulf St-Vincent, Battle of Bosworth is in the heart of the McLaren Vale wine region.

Battle of Bosworth make organically grown wines from our family vineyards located near Willunga in the premium wine growing region of McLaren Vale, South Australia. Battle of Bosworth was established in 2001 by Joch Bosworth and Louise Hemsley-Smith on vineyards planted by Joch’s parents in the 1970’s. 

Any outstanding barrels are set aside for Best of Vintage. This year, the anchor variety is Petit Verdot (70%) with Shiraz making up the balance (there is a smidge of Malbec in there too).
