PRODUCER BACKGROUND

Spring Seed Wines are made with organically grown, single vineyard grapes that express the unique characteristics of the McLaren Vale foothills. The wines are fresh, balanced and appealing. Traditional vinification and natural, minimal processing, combined with organic viticulture ensures the purity, integrity and flavor of all Spring Seed Wines. The labels are inspired by vintage flower seed packets.

The vineyard was established in the early 1970’s by Peter and Anthea Bosworth, and is now owned and run by their son Joch, who began the conversion to organic viticulture in 1995.
