The Black Chook

Wine Spectator 88/100 · Wine Enthusiast 87/100

Distinction · 3 prestige critics

The Black Chook operates in McLaren Vale, the warm-climate heart of South Australia's Fleurieu Peninsula. The winery works with the region's signature varieties: Shiraz, which thrives in McLaren Vale's sun-soaked conditions, and Viognier, the aromatic white that adds complexity to blended expressions. The portfolio centers on a Shiraz, a Shiraz-Viognier blend, and a Pinot Grigio. Wine Spectator and Wine Enthusiast have rated the releases, with the Pinot Grigio reaching 88 points and the Shiraz-Viognier blend at 87.2 points. McLaren Vale's warm days and cooling maritime influences create the conditions for ripe, structured reds and textured whites—a character reflected in The Black Chook's core range.
