The Shaw family own vineyards in the premium cool climate regions of McLaren Vale and Currency Creek in South Australia, with a total of 485 hectares under vine. In the 1800s Goolwa was the most important river port in South Australia linked by rail to Port Elliot, where sailing ships unloaded ballast stone to refill their holds with wool and grain for their return trip to England. Buildings on Ballast Stone Estate Vineyards are made from this stone. In 2000, work commenced on building a state of the art winery, followed by the first crushing in the 2001 vintage.
