ADELAIDE HILLS

Located to the east of Adelaide,the Adelaide Hills is part of the Mount Lofty Ranges. Considered a cool-climate region, most vineyards are situated at elevations between 450 to 550 metres. Rainfall is relatively high and spring frosts often pose problems. Hot northerly winds also make bush fires a real threat in the region. Adelaide Hills is a jigsaw of meso-climates, with the best vineyards centred around Piccadilly Valley and Lenswood in protected sites facing north or north-east. Soils are derived from schistic and sedimentary rock; typically well-drained sandy loams over red clay interspersed with schistic gravels. A premium wine-growing region, Adelaide Hills is best known for crisp, lively Sauvignon Blanc and elegant cool climates styles of Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Shiraz.

Winery O'LEARY WALKER

Langton’s Selections O’Leary Walker Watervale Riesling, O’Leary Walker Polish Hill River Riesling, O’Leary Walker Claire Reserve Shiraz Established by David O’Leary and Nick Walker in 2001, O’Leary Walker is located at Leasingham in the Clare Valley. This is essentially a negociant business sourcing fruit off vineyards locally, the Adelaide Hills, Barossa Valley, Coonawarra and McLaren Vale. The aim is to make wines which show freshness and strong regional definition. Both the Polish Hill River and Watervale Rieslings are absolutely top notch with pristine fruit and mineral acidity. The Cabernet – based on sub region Armagh and Polish Hill River Cabernet – is a fruit driven style which sees 20 months maturation in both new and seasoned French oak. The Claire Reserve (named after Claire Marie O’Leary – not a misspelling) is based on century old Clare Valley material. O’Leary Walker occasionally pops up on the market. The wines are well regarded and worth seeking out. Andrew Caillard MW, Langton's
