These vineyards are strategically planted with grape varieties ideally suited to the area, including Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Shiraz, embodying their commitment to producing exceptional wines that reflect the essence of the Adelaide Hills.
A luxurious match with kingfish ceviche.
A fine boned Chardonnay that reflects the conditions of the vintage and the character of this unique vineyard site. Pale lemon straw colour. Restrained on the nose, with white flowers and a touch of struck match.
A long, fine, and delicate palate but with underlying intensity of fruit, with chamomile, lemon pith and slightly under-ripe nectarine notes. Understated, with purity and finesse, but there is also texture and drive that hint at the great potential to age.
