$294.00 GST Included

AUSTRALIA WIDE SHIPPING INCLUDED

Cool climate wines celebrating our diverse altitude, latitude, climate and ancient soils of the Adelaide Hills. These unique environmental influences are reflected in our wines; intense fruit flavours, beautiful natural acidity, balance, purity and sophistication.

Cool temperatures in spring paired with mild rainfall and strong southerly winds resulted in late vine development and lower yields. The start of summer saw an exceptionally difficult time for the Adelaide Hills with extremely hot days leading up to the devastating Cudlee Creek bushfires. The Lane was fortunately spared from the fires and all blocks on the estate were unaffected by smoke. Cooler weather and rain followed in late summer, lengthening hang time for whites and earlier ripening for reds, producing highly concentrated flavours across all varietals.

A quintessential cool-climate Sauvignon Blanc harvested in the cool night from various blocks on the estate. After pressing, free run juice was cold-settled for 24 hours before undergoing a slow, cool ferment in 100% stainless steel. Aromas of kaffir lime, gooseberry and lemon thyme with a clean, crisp and fresh palate of finger lime, lemongrass and hints of guava and passion fruit for a textural, mineral finish.

About The Lane Vineyard

The Lane Vineyard has been the custodian of an enviable piece of pristine Adelaide Hills terroir since the first vines were planted in 1993. Sitting 400m high atop the rolling hills adjacent the Onkaparinga Valley, the vineyards enjoy the warm days and cool nights that the Adelaide Hills Wine Region is so famous for. Chardonnay, Shiraz, Sauvignon Blanc, Semillon, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Merlot make up the estate vineyards, producing small batch, artisan, single vineyard wines displaying the pedigree and provenance that has made The Lane what it is today.

In addition to the vineyards and wines, the Lane estate is home to an acclaimed contemporary restaurant and tasting room where, just 3 kilometres from the historic village of Hahndorf and a scenic 25-minute drive from Adelaide CBD, visitors quickly feel a world away.

What makes our wine region so special and dynamic, is its ability to produce an incredibly diverse list of grape varieties ideally suited to countless aspects and micro climates stretching some 90km north to south and 30km east to west. And so in addition to our estate vineyards, our winemaking team works closely with long term Adelaide Hills grape growers to source specific varieties in ideal sites. Nebbiolo, Riesling and Pinot Blanc from Woodside, Sangiovese from Kersbrook, Viognier from Nairne and Pinot Noir from Lobethal to name a few.
