Eldredge and Paulett Wines Vineyards: Located directly west of Sevenhill in the Clare Valley is Eldredge Vineyards. The cellar door and restaurant began in 1994 after many months of renovating an 80-year-old stone cottage. It has become one of the valley’s best-kept secrets, renowned for superb classic and contemporary food served with national and international award winning wines. Located on the western boundary of the Clare Valley, the Eldredge vineyard rises from 440 to 530 metres above sea level. The site is ideal for producing premium Shiraz, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Sangiovese, Malbec and Riesling. Paulett Wines is located on the eastern side of the Clare Valley in the beautiful Polish Hill River sub-region. Established in 1983 the vines are grown at an altitude of five hundred metres. The easterly aspect and steep hillsides ensure long ripening periods that are prerequisites for producing consistent fruit flavors and fine wines. The winery utilizes a wonderful mix of modern technology and highly valued traditional winemaking. Red fermentation in 100-year-old slate open fermenters and the use of basket pressing are important elements in the hand crafting of Paulett wines.
