Showcasing South Australia

Artwine is the rosé-cheeked love child of Judy and Glen, two live-in-the-moment lovers of Mediterranean style wines, who decided to leave the worlds of banking, research, and marketing behind, and turn their obsession with emerging varieties into a successful business and way of life - and wine lovers are happy that they did.

In 2008 when they established the Artwine brand, the Mediterranean varieties they adored were few and far between and were considered "alternative varieties". Now the wines they produce such as Montepulciano and Graciano are more common place. The architecturally magnificent cellar door was built in 2013 and  is located in beautiful Woodside in the Adelaide Hills.

While Artwine’s focus on Mediterranean style wines was born of Glen and Judy’s passion for them, their philosophy around them has much deeper roots. They believe whole-heartedly these ‘old world’ wines are the ‘emerging’ future of wine in Australia. They’re food-friendly, lighter in style, and have a complexity of flavour that will awaken even the most seasoned palates. Not only that, but their ideal growing conditions are mirrored here in the Adelaide Hills and the Clare Valley, meaning they not only thrive here, but can be sustainably grown, lessening the impact on our land.
