Adelaide Hills - Barossa Valley - Langhorne Creek

Adelaide Hills
The Adelaide Hills is fast becoming renowned as one of Australia's premium grape growing regions. Bordered by Kuitpo in the South and Mt Pleasant in the North, the region is long and narrow and can be accessed within an hour to the east of Adelaide.

This region is considered to have a cool climate, however the diversity of microclimates influenced by altitude and aspect, allow many grape varieties to be grown. Rainfall in the Adelaide Hills is significantly higher than in either the Barossa or Langhorne Creek, averaging between 750mm to 1200mm depending on which area of the Hills.

Vines have been planted near Echunga since the early 1840's, and it is reported that perhaps the Australia's first exported wine (a gift to Queen Victoria) came from this area.

The growing season is typically September to May and vintage typically between March and May.

We source our Merlot from a rich vineyard in Verdun, on the banks of the Onkaparinga River with excellent exposure allowing the fruit to attain balanced sugar and flavour ripeness.

Our Viognier comes from a small vineyard in Gumeracha.
