Adelaide Hills — the mountain wine region above Adelaide on the Mt Lofty Ranges at 400-700 metres altitude — is the source of South Australia’s freshest and most elegant white wines. Its cool climate, clay-sandy and clay-loam soils produce Chardonnays of freshness, elegance and complexity close to Burgundian style.
