The Osborn family has farmed McLaren Vale since 1912, when Joseph sold his prize racehorses to buy the property then called Bundarra. Fourth-generation Chester has held the winemaking reins since 1984, producing Shiraz and other varieties by traditional methods. The origin story alone — a teetotalling company secretary, a failed medical degree, 72 racehorse wins — is worth the visit.
