Adelaide Hills, SA Red Wines
The GI (Geographic Indicator) region of South Australia’s Adelaide Hills is one of Australia’s premier cool-climate wine growing areas.
Located just outside of the city of Adelaide, and nestled between the Barossa Valley and McLaren Vale, Adelaide Hills is a large, diverse region that includes two sub-regions: Piccadilly Valley and Lenswood.
With around 50 cellar doors along its narrow 70km stretch, Adelaide Hills boasts altitudes of up to 650 metres, meaning it has a cooler climate than the surrounding wine regions. Sauvignon Blanc is the most commonly grown grape in the Adelaide Hills, followed by Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Gris.
The unique climate and geography of the Adelaide Hills means the wines produced in this region are elegant and worthy of their increasing reputation when it comes to great Aussie wines. Check them out for yourself – these are the wines that our tasting panel loved:

- Longview Devil's Elbow Cabernet Sauvignon 2022Special Price $30.00 Regular Price $32.00A tightly coiled Cab that needs a little coaxing by way of an hour or 2 in the decanter. While that's happening, turn your thoughts to lamb and what you might be eating in an hour or 2 when the wine is cherry ripe. Funnily enough, we found cherries here, along with blackcurrant, cocoa, tomato leaf and a plushness emerging from an intense baseline once the wine had gulped a little air. You can see the promise on opening, but post decanting, the Trophy and gold medals this wine has won make a great deal of sense. Learn More
