THE SALISBURY STORY
1848 was a significant year for Scottish immigrant John Harvey when he began selling ’town allotments’ on his land on the Little Para River near Adelaide in South Australia.
It marked the beginning of a thriving settlement that John was to name ‘Salisbury’ after the famous English cathedral city close to where his wife was born. The town flourished servicing the surrounding farms and the first orchards were planted in the district.
Our heritage is built on this pioneering spirit and was the inspiration behind the name of one of the original vineyards in the Murray Darling region.
The Salisbury 1848 wine brand was first launched in 1988 and is now enjoyed all around the world through 23 international markets.
Over the years the Salisbury wines have won many awards at Australian and international wine shows including the Governor's Award for the Best Victorian White Wine
