The rolling hills and vast vineyard view of the McLaren Vale Wine Region hold more than meets the eye. Look carefully and you'll see a growing number of distilleries that call McLaren Vale home.

Usually, when we talk about organic and biodynamic farming, we talk about how it's better for the planet, the health of the workers in the fields and the communities in which those farms are located.

But we are not primarily drinking wine as an act of community service and sacrifice, or as some sort of constitution-boosting elixir. We drink wine because it's yummy. And as it turns out, organically and biodynamically farmed wine appears to taste better too.

Angove might be better known for its fine St Agnes brandies and a large-scale winery/distillery in the Riverland, but its McLaren Vale cellar door lunch is from a different planet.
