About Penny’s Hill Wines
It all begins in the vineyard.
Penny’s Hill was founded in 1988 on the rolling foothills east of McLaren Vale. The 32 ha (80 acre) grazing property, a prized piedmont position with commanding views over the waters of Gulf St. Vincent, promised all the elements for a great vineyard.
Named Penny’s Hill Vineyard after the hill at the base of which it is sited, the property was planted to vines in 1991 to a unique narrow-row configuration to maximise vineyard productivity and grape and wine quality.
Further vineyard acquisition followed. In 1993, the newly-planted Malpas Road property was purchased, followed in 1996 by an adjacent highly prized hay-producing paddock that was planted to vines and named Goss Corner.
In 1998, the original Goss family homestead, ‘Ingleburne’ was added to the Malpas and Goss properties to reconnect what had originally been one entire holding.
Now ownership and management of the business has passed from founder Tony Parkinson to his good friend and fellow South Australian winemaker Warren Randall, joining the Randall Wine Group.
