Domaine Wine Shippers has introduced a new winery to it's South Australian Portfoilio, Ngeringa*.
At the base of the
Mount Barker summit along the southern end of the Adelaide Hills sits a
small straw bale winery. To either side nestles 3 small vineyards. The
vines are small by design but they are sturdy and glowing with the
health and self-sufficiency that their biodynamic condition harnesses. A
small herd of Scottish Highland Cattle graze in the neighbouring
paddocks, with hay and grain growing in additional fields. Sheep roam
the vineyard in winter and a flock of chickens and guinea fowl remain
permanent residents amongst the vines. A small orchard and large
vegetable garden give fresh produce to the vintage crew and to one of
Adelaide’s top restaurants. This is Erinn & Janet Klein’s way of
life and it is the way they create wines of distinction, with vitality
of fruit and of a traditional style with elegance and structure. This is
Ngeringa.
*Please note, Ngeringa is only available in South Australia.
