Piccadilly Valley Pinot Noir is a blend of fruit from a few of the neighbours as well as a contribution from de-classified Ashton Hills Reserve/Estate parcels. Stephen George has taken great interest in applying his winemaking approach to parcels from elsewhere within the Piccadilly Valley and seeing how the wines compare with those from the Ashton Hills vineyard. The resulting blend benefits from varied fruit character and vineyard expression, while maintaining the fine tannin structure that is typical of the Ashton Hills style.
NoseLifted fresh raspberries, cherries and strawberries with a lovely hint of Indian spice and rosewater.
MouthJuicy and red fruited, with a lick of spice and fresh herbs from the whole bunch component. The mouth-watering natural acidity and fine tannins compliment the plush fruits and result in a textural and long lasting finish.

Hailing from a mature, close-planted block in the Maple Ridge vineyard near Hahndorf, the fruit was handpicked, fermented in small hand batches with wild yeast, and matured in French Oak. The mostly whole-bunch ferment gives this pinot its drive – savoury, spicy, red berry flavours, and a firm acidity that will ensure this wine continues to improve over the medium term.

The 2015 Syrah is a special wine delivered from the Adelaide Hills’ Longview vineyard – in a region with a strong reputation for producing great Shiraz.
Whole berries and some whole bunches (up to 40%) were put into a fermenter and left to sit. A slow, even fermentation – on skins for a month, then pressed off to French oak, with a portion treated to larger new oak.
The wine shows plums and layers of fruit and spice that gradually open up. Tannins from the whole bunches extend the palate, with a mouthfeel and flavour that continue long after the last sip.

This Chardonnay was picked from a single vineyard in the Adelaide Hills. It was whole bunch pressed and fermented for 4 weeks in French oak barrels. It was left on its yeast lees in French oak for 6 months to develop texture and depth. It is about a wine to drink now or much later –a wine that will not last long if family and friends have anything to do with it.

Sauvignon blanc is synonymous with the Adelaide Hills, but this one might surprise you. It’s a funky little number with its own distinct personality. The sulphitic edge and mouth feel, combined with tropical and citrus overtones, will no doubt appeal to a group of followers looking for a wine made with minimal intervention and representing a strong sense of terroir. Handpicked from a cool climate pocket in Woodside, gently whole bunch pressed, wild fermented in French oak barriques and left on lees for 6 months, the result was worth the wait.

Gruner Veltliner is a widely planted variety in Austria and is well suited to the Adelaide hills climate. I wanted to make a Gruner that shows what the Adelaide Hills can do for the Style. This is sourced from the Longview vineyard and was hand picked in early February and wild fermented in French Oak Barrels. The low crop ensured the fruit was at optimum ripeness when picked. The wine spent the next 6 months on lees in barrel before being bottled. It is a classic example that exhibits great minerality, length and spice. It is a wine that is made to drink now and is a balanced drink that will suit the Australian climate.

From my tastings of many “Monte’s” from around the world and Australia, it is deemed a good alternative to Shiraz. A variety that is very late in ripening and is as tough as they come. I like to drink Monte and hence I have wanted to make one for a long time. The vineyard is in the northern side of the Adelaide Hills. It is on a tough piece of dirt and yet it seems to survive and even laugh at this. The grapes were slowly fermented and part of this batch was given extended time on skins.

This Montepulciano Rosé was Seletiv Harvested in March from the Amadio vineyard in the Northern Adelaide Hills. It was left on skins to develop a pale colour and then pressed to large format French oak. I was wild fermented and left in barrel for 7 months to develop texture and depth.
This one is for all the loyal Rosé drinkers out there; the ones who have always drunk it regardless of fashion. This wine was made with intent – not just a by-product or an after thought. Montepulciano grapes from the northern reaches of the Adelaide Hills were destemmed, gently pressed to barrel and left to begin a slow, wild ferment. A further 5 months in oak to develop intensity has resulted in a luscious strawberries and cream palate that’s just begging to be the life of the party. Grab it now before GB drinks the lot.

Tasting Note
This wine is made from a blend of Pinot Noir for its power and riper red fruit aromas and Chardonnay for citrus lift and finesse. We select the fruit from the cool south-facing slopes high in the Adelaide Hills. Sweet strawberry, cherry and spice aromas follow through to the palate, where the lively bubbles add lift and balance to these fruit flavours. This wine has wonderful length and supple mouth feel.
Winemaking
The fruit is all hand-picked and whole bunch pressed into tank for fermentation. A remaining parcel of Pinot Noir is fermented as red wine in open top fermenters with daily plunging. Fermentation lasts around 12 days and the wines go through malo-lactic ferment over winter to soften the acids. Blending then takes place, combining the clear base wine with around 4-7% of the red wine to achieve the pale pink colour and fruit lift that is signature of this wine. We tirage the wine by hand and store the bottles at 14` for a long consistent second ferment. Each bottle is riddled and hand disgorged on site in our Longwood winery. Small batches are disgorged at a time to allow the remaining bottles to continue ageing on lees as long as possible. The dosage liquor is crafted using a blend of base wines that have been aged for at least 12 months.
Vineyard
We source fruit from vineyards located high in the Lenswood district of the Adelaide Hills, where the vines have an average age of 25 years. These sites consistently produce outstanding Pinot Noir and Chardonnay for sparkling wine.

Tasting Note
Aromas of white stone fruits, citrus and flint are complemented with fine mineral and nut characters on the palate. Crisp, lemony acidity gives the wine elegance and a lingering finish. Patient cellaring of this wine will reward.
Winemaking
Very low yielding chardonnay vines were hand-picked into small baskets before being whole bunch pressed. The juice was fermented in a mix of new and old French oak barriques, with partial wild ferment. Frequent lees stirring was carried out for a period of 2 months, and malolactic fermentation is allowed to occur spontaneously. The wine was left to mature in the oak for 15 months prior to racking and bottling.

Winemaking Different parcels of fruit are all hand-picked and then fermented in stainless steel tanks. In 2018 partial Malolactic ferment took place to soften the palate and add complexity while retaining the perfect natural acidity in the blend.

Each bottle is riddled and disgorged on site in our Longwood winery. The dosage liquor added at disgorging to add the finishing sweetening element is crafted using a blend of base wines and is then aged for a minimum of 12 months. |

Tasting Note
The vintage gave fruit of intense flavour and aroma. Partial barrel fermentation has added texture and depth to the sweet floral and pear characters. Hints of sweet spice and honey accompany the stone fruit.
This wine has a silky body, mouth‐filling texture and a balanced citrus finish. If cellared, this wine it will develop extra body and rich fruit characters with bottle age.
Winemaking
This Pinot Gris fruit was hand‐picked in two passes at differing ripeness to produce a wine with fine structure and lifted fruit aromas. The earlier pick provides the tight acid and restraint with the riper pick adding body and richness. Partial barrel ferment in older barriques with weekly lees stirring over three months has given extra depth and added complexity on the palate.
