- Fresh, juicy
- Adelaide Hills
“Who doesn’t love Adelaide Hills and the incredible wines that come from this beautiful gem of a region. This chardy is classic Adelaide Hills, with a nose of intense ripe stone fruit and a hint of pink lady apple just enough to get the senses tingling. It’s from a producer we love at Vinomofo. The fires have hit them hard, so any chance to support them should be jumped at! This wine has a heap of character and is looking fantastic (like myself!). So as we say in Liverpool, get it down you!” – Michael, Wine Dealer

Region
Adelaide Hills
Don't kid yourselves, the Adelaide Hills are bigger and much more diverse than they seem. It stretches over 80km from the Barossa Valley in the North to McLaren Vale in the South. The area is so variable that small pockets such as Piccadilly and Longwood can only ripen marginal such as Chardonnay or Pinot Noir, whereas other specific areas are perfect for peppery Shiraz and ballsy Cabernet. A healthy mix of experienced hands and young hipsters ensure the region stays at the cutting edge of the industry. Natural wines, and new European varieties including Nebbiolo and Gruner Veltliner are some of the more recent highlights to keep an eye out for.
