The Wine
Professor Tom Nelson established his vineyards in 1973 around a dilapidated stone chapel he subsequently renovated. Visitors to the cellar quickly dwarfed the number of former worshippers. By 1994 there was a need to build a new 80,000 case winery. Successful? Doesn’t come close – Chapel Hill is an Aussie phenomenon. In charge today, on behalf of the winery’s new Swiss owners, is Michael Fragos, a fervent believer in the quality of the McLaren Vale. The Prophet Shiraz displays decadent aromas of blueberries and exotic spices. The luscious palate combines aniseed and plum flavours and firm tannins. Michael loves a glass with roast pork in a fresh ciabatta roll. It’s a big wine, so let it breathe a while or keep a few years. It’s worth it.
"Absolutely best wine so far. Beautiful, full, rich taste. Wish I had bought more"
