About Us

The beauty of Five Geese spans across 32 Hectares of vineyards located in the McLaren Vale region of South Australia.

Nestled in the north-eastern end of the Willunga basin, Blewitt Springs lies about 180m above sea level. This slightly higher elevation provides a cooler climate than nearby McLaren Vale and Willunga. With cooler temperatures and moderating afternoon sea breezes, the grapes grown here enjoy a long, even ripening season.

Vintage in Blewitt Springs is often some two to three weeks later than the rest of the district. These extra weeks give the fruit time to develop more complex flavour ripeness, without the excessive baumes found in warmer areas. The grapes develop a beautiful balance of flavour, acidity, and sugar, which then translate into complex, but not overly alcoholic wines.

The Five Geese Shiraz is sourced from Blewitt Springs vineyard. The soil is deep sand over clay and is minimally irrigated from a small amount of available surface water.

The Five Geese Grenache is hand-picked from the dry grown, old bush Grenache vines. These gnarly old vines produce a very intensely flavoured Grenache. These vines are some of the oldest in the district.

Five Geese also has vines near McLaren Flat (located at the eastern end of the valley) and from here we source our Cabernet and Nero d'Avola. The deep alluvial iron-rich soils of the vineyard imparts vibrant textures and flavours to the fruit.

The company’s underlying philosophy is to promote itself by producing premium wines that are recognised as excellent value for money.

Five Geese McLaren Vale Nero d’Avola – Bold, Bright & Uniquely Mediterranean

Discover a bold yet approachable red that brings a taste of Sicily to McLaren Vale. The Five Geese Nero d’Avola is a shining example of how Mediterranean varietals thrive in South Australia's premium wine regions. Planted in 2009 on the Seaview Road vineyard, this lesser-known varietal has found a new home in the ironstone-rich soils and warm Mediterranean climate of McLaren Vale.

The wine delivers intense aromatics and depth of flavour, while remaining bright, vibrant, and easy-drinking. Notes of dark cherry, plum, and wild berries are layered with savoury hints of spice, dried herbs, and a touch of dark chocolate. Aged for 14 months in seasoned French oak barrels, this Nero d’Avola has soft, supple tannins and a silky mouthfeel, finishing with a gentle earthiness and subtle acidity that make it incredibly food-friendly.

Made using minimal intervention and sustainable vineyard practices, this wine is a favourite among those looking for something different yet deeply satisfying. It’s ideal for pairing with grilled meats, antipasti, mushroom risotto, or tomato-based pasta dishes.

Whether you're a curious explorer of Italian varietals or a long-time red wine enthusiast, Five Geese’s Nero d’Avola is a bold, beautiful expression of McLaren Vale innovation.
