Vineyards
The grapes for the 2007 Gigglepot came from the Prime and Gateway vineyards in McLaren Vale.

The Prime vineyard is in the heart of McLaren Vale and is owned by Warwick, Jenny & Robert Prime. Warwick is well known in South Australian for his work in television, radio and fundraising. In retirement he devotes his time to his beloved Cabernet vineyard, hand pruning each vine himself and proving the truth of the old saying ‘The best fertilizer is the owner’s shadow’.

The Gateway vineyard is on the magical Seaview Ridge which is home to most of the iconic McLaren Vale wines. It is owned by a consortium of enthusiastic viticulturalists, wine makers and grape growers who are dedicated to sustainable agriculture. The meticulous viticulture is done by Paxton and the grapes are managed according to the Marquis Vineyard Watering Program™

Reviews
Wine Spectator
'This is distinctive for its focused cherry, spice and freshly turned loam aromas and flavors. An expressive wine of richness and depth that doesn't quit as the finish rolls on and on.' - 92 points, Harvey Steiman, www.winespectator.com
