VARIETIES

The initial 35 wine grape varieties, of which there were 75 different clones, imported by Chalmers all arrived at the vineyard in 2001. Just one or two small potted vines of each selection. Since then over 1.5 million vines have been produced from these mother plants. These vines have made their way into the vineyards of over 340 vignerons in 215 postcodes across every state and territory except NT.
