Lazy Ballerina - Wine of McLaren Vale.
Requirements
![]()
Wine is made in the vineyard. and right now McLaren Vale has the best vineyards in Australia. It also is home to a developing organic farming movement. We do our best to push the frontiers of sustainable farming and promote this on a wide scale.
During the day James works as a viticulturalist through his company - DJ's Growers. If fruit catches his eye he grabs it and makes it into wine.
We favour vineyards that are on low hills consisting of ironstone and chalky rock with a thin covering of clay loam as this provides good drainage.
Vineyards on the hill tops are world famous for Shiraz, which produce a very concentrated flavour and colour. The low hills catch the afternoon summer sunshine, ripening the fruit without fail. The thin soil has the ideal balance for the normally vigorous Shiraz, taming it and pushing every last drop of energy into the fruit.
