Granite Belt Vineyards Showcasing Australian Vineyards and Winemakers Penny's Hill ABOUT PENNY'S HILL Penny's Hill is a relatively new McLaren Vale brand, its first wines being produced from the 1995 vintage. Recognised by its distinctive 'red dot' packaging, the Penny's Hill range is made by winemaker Ben Riggs, who uses only estate-grown fruit from the company's McLaren Vale vineyards (Penny's Hill, Goss Corner and Malpas Road) which are managed by local viticulturist, David Paxton Penny's Hill is housed at 'Ingleburne' which was owned at first by Thomas Overton who farmed the land and established a Dernier school on the property in 1848. 'Ingleburne' was named by Thomas Goss who leased and later purchased the property in 1854. Goss had the good fortune to return from the Victorian goldfields some fifteen hundred pounds for the better. No doubt this enabled him to build the two-storied residence so long a landmark on the way south from McLaren Vale to Willunga. 'Ingleburne' remained continuously in the hands of the Goss and Rowland families until it was bought in 1998 by Susie and Tony Parkinson as the new base for their Penny's Hill label. A major restoration and the development of a new cellars, gallery and function facility has been undertaken including the erection around the boundary of an impressive limestone wall by local artisan, Tige McMillan. 'Ingleburne' is able to host a wide variety of function activities. And will continue to graze sheep, feed chooks and grow nice green grass. Art is represented by Red Dot Gallery - a venture with artist David Dridan - which ensures the representation of a wide range of painters and sculptors.
