“色泽鲜艳。散发着浓郁而香甜的红色果香，普罗旺斯的花草香提供了良好的结构支撑，使其更具复杂性。口感圆润，回味悠长。堪称经典。” -詹姆士•韩礼德，95分，2008

History
Chapel Hill winery takes its name from the historic ironstone chapel built on the property in 1865.
Originally the Christian Bible Church for the local area then later also used as a parish school; the chapel closed in its centenary year (1965) and fell into disrepair until its restoration in the 1970’s by Adelaide Professor, Tom Nelson. Tom commenced the establishment of a winery and the Chapel Hill brand in 1973 and six years later the site was purchased by a partnership of the Sellick and Gerrard families who enjoyed considerable success in developing the Chapel Hill wines. Gerrard bought out the Sellick family in the 80’s. A new winery was constructed in 1994 with a capacity of 1000 tonnes the equivalent of around 80,000 cases of wine. In 2000 Chapel Hill was acquired by the Swiss based family of Thomas Schmidheiny.
Chapel Hill owns and operates 44 hectares of vineyards and purchases fruit from a select group of McLaren Vale and Adelaide Hills vignerons.
Since 2006 there have been a number of significant changes within the business. Changes to vineyards, wine styles, packaging and personnel have significantly contributed to a new look Chapel Hill that is totally dedicated to producing the best possible quality range of wines that articulate the stylistic expression the region.
礼拜山酒庄取名自1965年成立之时的一尊具有历史意义的教堂。
起初该教堂仅作当地的基督传教之用，后来用作了一座教堂学校。百年之后，该教堂倒闭，直至20世纪70年代，阿德雷德教授Tom Nelson重建了该教堂，在六年后的80年代由Sellick和Gerrard家族合伙收购。1994年一座崭新的酒庄在此成立，年产量达1000吨约8000箱葡萄酒。2000年，礼拜山酒庄由瑞士家族Thomas Schmidheiny收购。
礼拜山酒庄现在拥有44公顷的葡萄园，在麦克拉伦谷和阿德雷德山均有种植。
自2006年起，该酒庄的业务有了实质性的转变，不管是在葡萄园、酿酒风格、产品包装还是人员配备的改变上，都赋予了该酒庄产品更高的品质与风格特点。
