Critic reviews
Critic reviews
James Halliday – Chardonnay sourced from 350m elevation at Gumeracha in the Adelaide Hills; whole-bunch pressed and fermented in French oak puncheons (20% new). Pale straw with characters of crunchy green apple, nectarine and juicy peach with hints of cream wafer biscuits, lemon curd, soft spice, mango pudding, vanilla and creamy oak. Plenty of tight Hills focus on display with a driving mineral line and a finish that shows good sustain and spicy apple and peach fruit at its core. – Dave Brookes

Adelaide Hills
The Adelaide Hills is one of the largest geographical wine regions in Australia, and amongst the most diverse in terms of climate, soil and topography. Because of this, many different varietals are planted here with the most dominant being Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Gris. It is generally thought of as a cooler region, especially when compared to neighbouring Barossa to the north and Mclaren vale and Langhorne Creek to the south.
NZ Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc has been popular in Australia for a while now, but Adelaide hills Sauvignon Blanc (the most planted grape in the region) could be considered the Aussie Savvy Blanc. From www.adelaidehillswine.com.au about their Sauvignon Blanc: “Wines that are textured, edgy, vibrant and dry with exceptional fruit definition, length and crispness that marry superbly with summer seafood.”
You can also find some cool climate shiraz from the Adelaide hills, defying the more common big bold style that is usually seen in Australian Shiraz.
