Adelaide Hills Wine

Adelaide Hills wines include wine from many different wineries. The region itself is known for being one of the best wines growing areas in all of Australia. It is often noted as the gateway to the Barossa and Eden Valley regions, but it is well worth a stop over and sampling everything they have on offer. You’ll find that the top of the crop is the Sauvignon Blanc, and these compare well with the famous offering from across the ditch in New Zealand, just like our various sporting teams these two are duking it out from year to year.

While the Sauvignon Blanc may be the crowning gem of the region, there are many other varieties that Adelaide Hills wines have to offer. You’ll find superb Shiraz (or Syrah), Chardonnay, Cabernet Sauvignon, Pinot Noir, and the occasional Pinot Grigio, and Semillon. In fact, it would be hard to find something from the Adelaide Hills region that does not tempt your taste buds. With so many wineries in the region, it can be hard to explore and uncover all that it has to offer, however, we’d recommend starting with Jacob’s Creek, McGuigan Wines, and Heirloom Vineyards. When ordering your wines from the Adelaide Hills wineries, we recommend getting a few bottles as it will best demonstrate what the region has to offer. For any dinner party or gathering it’s an excellent idea to at least have a red and white wine on offer. You can pair wine with the particular food you're serving and have a good quality match on offer for your guests. But often people will have a preference for either red or white, so it's best to keep them happy!

What does Adelaide Hills wine taste like?

The most popular variety that Adelaide Hills wines have to offer is the Sauvignon Blanc. You’ll find that these are of exceptionally high quality especially when compared to any other Sauvignon Blanc in Australia. The cool region around Adelaide is perfect for the fruit to develop correctly. The grapes slowly ripen over the growing season and all this helps to build the flavour combinations, which results in the wines having intense fruit flavours alongside a natural acidity. The wines themselves are crisp and fresh with the intense grassy flavours you’d expect with a Sauvignon Blanc. You can find a good deal of differences between the wines in the region, with many offerings something quite different to the next.

With Adelaide Hills wines, you’ll want to pair them with the right foods to get the best out of them. An Adelaide Hills Sauvignon Blanc is best when served with grilled fish, prawns, and squid. It helps bring out any citrus flavours that may have been hiding in the background. If fish is not really to your tastes, you can also serve it with grilled chicken, or lamb, but be careful not to overdo the marinades and sauces, as they can easily quash the subtle flavours you’re trying to tease out.

If you’re having a barbeque on the beach while enjoying the end of a brilliant summer's day, then you’d be hard-pressed to find a better wine than those offered by the Adelaide Hills region. One of the better things about a Sauvignon Blanc is that they are also suitable for pairing with many sharp and soft pieces of cheese, provided you don’t go overboard with any citrus flavourings.
