The Adelaide Hills has a strong reputation as home to some of Australia’s most elegant cool climate wines. Displaying great finesse and varietal intensity in the glass, the folds and undulations of the Adelaide Hills create a wide range of micro-climates and as a consequence the vineyards tend to be small in area and often steep, meaning hand pruning and picking are a virtual necessity. The diversity of soil type and climate plays host to a range of grape varieties and wine styles. Riesling, Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Gris and Grüner Veltliner find a natural home here, together with aromatic red varietals such as Pinot Noir.
