About
Inkwell Wines holds the distinction of being Australia's first Regenerative Organic Certified vineyard, farming 12 hectares at Tatachilla in McLaren Vale. The winery has practised indigenous-yeast natural fermentation without additions or corrections since 2005, producing two ranges: Inkwell and Dub Style. Visitors experience tastings from a striking shipping-container building with a rooftop deck and panoramic views of the Vale, open Tuesday–Sunday 12pm–5pm. Their 12-year vision targets net-negative carbon status, placing environmental commitment at the centre of everything they make.
Frequently Asked Questions

What wine styles does Inkwell produce?
Inkwell produces two ranges: the Inkwell range and the Dub Style range. All wines are made with indigenous wild-yeast fermentation and no additions or corrections — a practice the winery has maintained since 2005.
Where is the Inkwell cellar door?
The tasting room is at 377 California Road, Tatachilla SA 5171, in McLaren Vale. It occupies a converted shipping-container building with a rooftop viewing deck. Open Tuesday–Sunday 12pm–5pm; bookings encouraged. Call 0468 883 776.
What makes Inkwell different from other McLaren Vale wineries?
Beyond its Regenerative Organic Certified status, Inkwell operates with minimal equipment (one tractor, one de-stemmer, one press) and is working toward a net-negative carbon footprint — an unusually ambitious environmental target for an Australian winery of its size.
