Since 1979, family owned Maxwell Wines, with its eighty acre estate vineyard, has built a reputation for producing hand made, rich and robust reds that combine exquisite fruit quality with structure and finesse. The signature Lime Cave Cabernet and Ellen Street Shiraz reds are acclaimed for their cellaring potential and purity of expression. The white wines achieve freshness and superb varietal character via slow, cool ferments that capture the delicacies of the grapes. At Maxwell’s, we believe “Life’s too short to drink bad wine”.
Maxwell’s Ellen Street Restaurant is an idyllic place for an unforgettable food and wine experience. Constructed from limestone and old solid timber, the natural warmth of the building is complemented by large picture windows with breathtaking views overlooking the rolling hills of McLaren Vale. With guests surrounded by a vista of vines, the setting provides the perfect atmosphere for a relaxed and intimate occasion. Inside, an impressive limestone open fire creates a focal point, separating the restaurant from the cellar door.
Head chef Fabian’s food draws from local, fresh seasonal produce with a real home-grown flavour through working closely with growers and local suppliers. This is food that is meant to be enjoyed amongst friends, accompanied by a glass of the some of the region’s finest wine. Unpretentious, tasty food.
Cellar door opens daily from 10am till 5 pm for wine tasting. Ellen Street Restaurant opens Thursday to Monday, from 12pm.
