The Adelaide Hills is the premier region for Sauvignon Blanc. One of the largest geographical wine regions in Australia its diversity in terms of altitude, climate and soil helps it produce its distinctive cool climate wines.

Expert Reviews
“Typical Adelaide Hills restraint with a little bit of green herb on the nose, but in that thyme zone rather than a lantana patch. Tight focus, nice acid and sea-spray salinity. It's pretty bloody smart, actually.”
STUART KNOX - GOOD FOOD August 2020
“Pungent crunchy and classically savvy from the Adelaide Hills. Lots of vibrant passionfruit characters here. Nice little wine.”
RAY JORDAN - THE WEST AUSTRALIAN August 2020
"Cut-grass and green gerbiage aromas, some stalky notes. Clean and well-made. Crisp, tangy, dry palate, with lively acidity and some tension. Moderate length, clean and appetising finish. The acid draws the finish out."
HUON HOOKE - THE REAL REVIEW September 2020
