The Darley Arabian (pictured on the front label), purchased by Thomas Darley in Aleppo, Syriah and shipped back to England, began stud duties in 1704. Ninety-five percent of all thoroughbred racehorses today trace back to this one stallion. Like only the best thoroughbred families, we believe the wines of Darley will stand the test of time. The vineyards sourced for these wines, from Heathcote and the Mornington Peninsula, deliver on the expectation their pedigree suggests. We hope you agree and endeavour to always improve the wine ‘breed’.

Sandro Mosele

“If there’s been one winemaker’s name on the wine media lips this year, it’s Sandro Mosele. The Kooyong winemaker, who also makes wines for cult-like Mornington winery Scorpo and the highly respected Port Phillip Estate, has been called ‘highly sensitive’, a ‘genius’ and a ‘sympathetic winemaker’ by the likes of Sally Gudgeon, Tyson Stelzer and Philip White. The man behind the wines is a genetics graduate, who spent the early part of his career studying koalas. Sandro turned to farm management, which led him to vineyards and the rest, as they say, is history.”

The Darley range includes Pinot Gris, Chardonnay and Pinot Noir from the Mornington Peninsula and a Shiraz made from a blend of Mornington Peninsula and Heathcote Shiraz.
