Two mates who went to Uni together and then set off to make wine for the "big boys." After 20 years they decided to do it for themselves.
Over 30 years as winemakers and 10 making wines as O'Leary Walker, David and Nick remain passionate about creating premium wines that reflect the best in varietal characters.
Their guiding philosophy remains the same: vineyard selection is critical. Fruit is sourced from Regions such as the Clare Valley for their crisp, pristine Rieslings, McLaren Vale and Barossa Valley for rich and complex shiraz. Their vibrant and complex Sparkling, Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and elegant cool climate Shiraz are all sourced from the O'Leary and Cherry vineyards in the cool climate of the Adelaide Hills.
The wines of O'Leary Walker are a celebration of the grower's commitment to proven quality. It is the quality of vineyards with ideal soil and micro-climates that are the thumbprint of each glass of David and Nick's wine.
O'Leary Walker is a story of two mates doing what they love most: making great Australian wines.
