Mitchell Wines is a small family-owned winery in the Clare Valley, South Australia. They produce an exceptional range of high-quality wines. Their Riesling has intensely crafted flavour, well structured, and has long living reds from Shiraz, Cabernet and Grenache.

Mitchell Wines is a family-owned and operated winery. It was established in 1975. Their journey began when they moved to Clare, Australia in 1949, and the property was dairy and orchard, and lucky enough to have a small patch of vineyard.

The family members from the different background built interests in the winemaking, studied the facets of the wines industry, and has gained the vast experience.

 And, as they say, Mitchell Wines is truly the result of family operation with three generations, growing up and working together.
