Frequently Asked Questions

What kinds of wines are Main & Cherry known for?
Main & Cherry is renowned for its expressive, small-batch wines that reflect both classic and emerging varietals. Their portfolio is particularly noted for cool-climate favourites like Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, and Sauvignon Blanc, which showcase freshness, balance, and a strong sense of place from the Adelaide Hills. Alongside these, Main & Cherry has built a reputation for crafting innovative wines from lesser-known grapes such as Grüner Veltliner, Nero d’Avola, and Tempranillo. These wines demonstrate the brand's adventurous edge and focus on varietal expression. The reds tend to be fruit-forward yet structured, while the whites are crisp and textural. Rosés and pét-nats also feature in the lineup, reflecting a modern approach that appeals to a wide spectrum of drinkers. Overall, Main & Cherry is known for crafting thoughtfully made wines that combine regional typicity with creativity.

Where are Main & Cherry wines made?
Main & Cherry wines are produced in the Adelaide Hills region of South Australia, a celebrated cool-climate wine zone known for its elevation, diverse microclimates, and high-quality fruit. The winery is based in Cherry Gardens, situated on the family-owned vineyard, while additional grapes are sourced from neighbouring sites in the Adelaide Hills, McLaren Vale, and other select South Australian regions. The area's cooler temperatures and varied topography allow for the cultivation of a broad range of grape varieties, from aromatic whites to structured reds. This diversity enables Main & Cherry to craft wines with precision, freshness, and individuality. The winemaking process respects the characteristics of each site, with minimal intervention techniques employed to let the vineyards speak for themselves. This regional foundation gives Main & Cherry a strong identity rooted in terroir and environmental stewardship.

What are the best Main & Cherry wines?
Among the standout wines from Main & Cherry are their Adelaide Hills Pinot Noir, which offers elegance, lifted red fruit, and subtle oak integration, and their Chardonnay, known for its texture, citrus-driven profile, and mineral edge. These wines consistently receive strong praise for their balance and purity. Equally compelling is their Nero d’Avola, a varietal not often seen in Australia, which displays vibrant acidity and plush dark fruit, making it both food-friendly and distinctive. The Grüner Veltliner is another highlight, delivering freshness, spice, and structure—an excellent example of how the winery explores alternative grapes with finesse. Additionally, limited-release bottlings, like single-vineyard expressions or pét-nat sparklings, demonstrate their creative versatility. These wines represent the heart of Main & Cherry’s winemaking philosophy—precision, expression, and respect for terroir—making them some of the most intriguing in their category.

Are Main & Cherry wines affordable?
Main & Cherry wines are considered very fairly priced given their artisanal nature and quality-driven production. Positioned in the premium but accessible tier, their wines offer strong value for the craftsmanship and regional integrity they deliver. While not entry-level in pricing, the cost reflects small-batch production, minimal intervention methods, and careful vineyard sourcing from renowned sites in the Adelaide Hills and McLaren Vale. Their core range is generally within reach for most wine enthusiasts, while the limited or single-vineyard releases may be slightly higher in price but remain competitively positioned in the boutique wine market. For those seeking distinctive Australian wines that offer character and authenticity without the mass-market feel, Main & Cherry provides an excellent balance between affordability and boutique quality.
