Why do we love this wine?
You’ve gotta love a reserve bottle crafted by one of our best producer friends in the Adelaide Hills. This chardy had Kate, our Head of Buying, singing its praises around Mofo HQ, harping on about bright citrus juices, green apples and chalky minerality. Her word of the day for this drop also happened to be “chendy”. So you know, there’s that too.

So delicious its previous vintage flew off the cellar shelves in Australia, we’ve restocked with this brand spanker and it’s proving to be just as good - if not better. Pour a big glass of this and pat yourself on the back. You did good.

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.
