If wine could be a vagabond, Beachwood would be it. It is the result of a wide ranging pursuit for authentic growing and winemaking philosophies, a link with the land without being held back by lines on a map. An aspiration for natural, raw and minimalist new-world, food-friendly wines without boarders. Each varietal worth a open minded approach. Currently showcasing a Mclaren Vale Chardonnay, Heathcote Shiraz and a sneaky little Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc. And when we find more good parcels of wine, you might just see the range expanded.
