Lansdowne wines have been managing their vineyards since 1996, when the first vines were planted at Lansdowne Vineyard. Today, they have amassed 16 hectares of various grape varieties, including pinot noir, chardonnay, sauvignon blanc, and pinot grigio. Embracing the cool climate of the Adelaide Hills with cold nights, and warm sunny days they have been able to lean in to a minimal intervention practice of cultivation. As of 2018 all their vines are managed using organic farming and sustainability values in order to improve soil health, vine resilience and wine quality.

Tastes like dark red cherries, sour rhubarb and woodland moss. Bright with a herbal edge, well-defined structure, and subtle hints of spice.
