The Adelaide Hills are a very thriving emerging region of Australia south of Adelaide. When the first vines were planted in the Barossa Valley, the first attempts in the Adelaide Hills also began, but viticulture disappeared again in the first third of the 20th century. It was not until 1971 that new plantings were made, but the initial spark came with the arrival of Brian Croser and the founding of the Petaluma winery, which remains a benchmark for the region today. The Adelaide Hills form a strip in the Lofty Ranges almost to the headland that forms the Lofty Ranges. The climate is quite cool, due to the influence of the sea, so as a result, the Adelaide Hills have become a stronghold of Sauvginon Blanc, which is know to turn out spicy and fresh here. However, the range of hills with their different characteristics creates many small, distinct climates, and for this reason the vineyards are located up to 500 metres above sea level. The soils are mostly grey-brown, loamy sand and clay. For the most part, they are quite fertile. In addition to Sauvignon Blanc, grape varieties suitable for cool climates, such as Chardonnay, Riesling or Pinot Noir, also play a substantial role.
