Chester Osborn

d’Arenberg chief winemaker and viticulturist, Chester d’Arenberg Osborn, is the fourth generation of the Osborn family to grow grapes and make wine on the McLaren Vale property purchased by Joseph Osborn in 1912.

Chester continues his family’s winemaking tradition, utilising the vineyards, original cellars and the traditional winemaking techniques handed down by his forefathers.

The idea to build the d’Arenberg Cube came to Chester in 2003. Inspired by the complexities and puzzles of winemaking, Chester created the idea of a cube-shaped building.

The d’Arenberg Cube, completed in 2017, houses the winery’s cellar door, a restaurant, private tasting areas and an immersive art gallery, and has since become a must-see destination for visitors to the Fleurieu Peninsula.

In recent years, Chester has been a judge in many national and international wine shows including the National Wine Show of Australia.
