About The Winery
Country: Australia
Region: Adelaide Hills
Charlotte Hardy is a global winemaker, resident of the ‘Hitsville’ of South Australian wine regions, Basket Range, and owner of a black Labrador puppy called Keith. For Charlotte, each wine takes on a persona, beginning – as you might expect, in the vineyard, but then revealing its true identity along the winemaking journey. It’s all softly, softly here. No additions (apart from a touch of sulphur in some but not all wines) and no pushing the wines in a direction they don’t want to go. And the wines are amazing. Charlotte coaxes the beauties out of their little vinous shells and reveals some of the most heartfelt and delicious wines we’ve come across.
Climate: Cool maritime climate — Adelaide Hills benefits from altitude and ocean influence, offering slow, even ripening and excellent natural acidity.
Terroir: Sandstone and loamy soils; vineyards located at high elevations, promoting freshness and finesse.
Ageing: Fermented and aged in a combination of older French oak barrels and stainless steel to maintain vibrancy and texture; minimal intervention winemaking philosophy.
