Adelaide Hills
The Adelaide Hills is a region north of McLaren Vale in South Australia and is split into the two sub regions of Lenswood and Piccadilly. It is known for growing Chardonnay, Riesling and Sauvignon Blanc for whites and Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Pinot Noir for the reds. Having produced wines of great quality in early 1800s, the industry here declined dramatically towards the end of the century only to pick up again with awesome pace in the 1970s.
Due to its range of altitudes, which peak at 600m, and maritime influences, the Adelaide Hills has a very cool climate, one of the coolest in South Australia, and the variation allows it to grow a great variety of wines. Because of the altitude the Adelaide Hills is home to some fantastic white wines and some of the best Sauvignon Blancs in Australia. As for red wine, the Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot blends grow very well in the warmer parts of the region. The soils tend to consist of loose sandy ground, silt and loam.

Just a big thank you for the recent delivery of wine. The care and attention that goes into the wrapping, sealing and inclusion of wine notes on every bottle is outstanding and second to none. And then, of course, there's the wine!! I wish I could afford more. Keep up the good work.
Jeff C., West CalderEase of use, good illustrations of the bottles and good subsections I also like the amount you had in stock. You are my favourite supplier of GOOD wine with some age that was drinking at time of purchase!"
Clear and easy with lots of wines on one page. I love the fact I can buy the odd, the old and the unusual.
