On McMurtrie Road McLaren Vale a majestic hill rises from our Hut Block that is home to our finest Shiraz producing vineyards. We named this hill ‘Ghost Hill’ as a link back to the Hamilton Family’s roots in Dover, UK, where they embarked the 'Katherine Stewart Forbes' to make their journey to South Australia in 1837, when Richard Hamilton 1st planted South Australia’s original wine producing vineyards.
The story goes that a young woman would meet the ghost of her lover, a dispatch rider who died in the course of his duty, at night at the foot of Ghost Hill near the old Church.
