Langhorne Creek

Our iconic Bluegrass Collection is produced from premium grapes which are historically harvested from Langhorne Creek in South Australia. Located on the Fleurieu Peninsula, 70km from Adelaide. It is home to some of the oldest recorded Cabernet Sauvignon vines in the world and fifth-generation winemaking families.

Nestled on the banks of the Bremer River which floods annually and deposits nutrientrich soil on the surrounding plain. It is significantly cooler than the McLaren Vale and Barossa regions partly due to, ‘the Lake

Doctor’, a wind carrying cool breezes from nearby Lake Alexandrina. This cool maritime breeze, keeps temperatures down and allows for a longer, more even ripening period. This unique terrior produces full bodied Cabernet Sauvignon and Shiraz which are aromatic and fruit driven. The firm tannins create generous structure and body with good length of flavour. Bold, richly flavoured, opulent red wines, characters that have become synonymous with our Bluegrass Collection.
