The Galvanized Wine Group is a mob of Aussies with plenty of passion and stand-out brands. The Group brings together Australian wines crafted at our winery, McLaren Vintners by the talented winemaker, Ben Riggs, with owners, managers, staff and stakeholders all getting in on the act.

Under his own Mr. Riggs label - "making the wines I love" – Ben takes grapes from his family's "Piebald Gully Vineyard" –and only from other plots considered to be crackerjack!

Penny's Hill - "Proudly Australian. More so McLaren Vale" are wines from Parky’s dirt where high performance vineyards make for some real bonza wines.

Other brands within the Galvanized Wine Group's stable include the Woop Woops. Wines that punch above their weight. Like the newy on the block, “Big Woop!” where you’ll get more bang for yer buck! Wines they reckon are "out there from out there". 

Plus, straight from the chook house, comes its fine feathered friend, “The Black Chook”, or in USA, “The Chook”  -  these are "wines of character" which strut their stuff!

The Galvanized Wine Group offers “rocks off” excitement, energy and above all, no end of empathy with the palates of lovers of wines of the New World. Stone the crows!

Based in South Australia's burgeoning McLaren Vale region, the group champions wines from proven vineyards, blessed with fortunate terroir, noted for the love and care of their viticulturists. And their mates!
