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: Warm to moderate (Riverland) or cooler if from higher-elevation sites — the 2024 vintage offered a long, even ripening season, preserving freshness and aromatics.
Terroir: Sandy and gravelly soils over clay; dry-grown vines contribute to concentration and character.
Ageing: Wild fermentation in stainless steel and older barrels; short lees contact to build texture while maintaining freshness. Minimal intervention, expressive style.
