Showcasing South Australia

While there are many wineries in South Australia and Australia that are known for being 'The First' to do something. while there are wineries known to be true innovators, Larry and Marc from Hahndorf Hill Winery fit into both categories quite comfortably. Bringing varieties such as Gruner Veltliner and Blaufrankish into the scope of wine drinkers is something they have done proudly and easily. 

Hahndorf Hill Winery (HHW) is owned by Larry Jacobs and Marc Dobson, who operate the boutique business together with a dedicated team. Larry was once an intensive-care doctor who gave up medicine to become the founder of Mulderbosch Vineyards in Stellenbosch, South Africa. Marc is a former journalist and advertising copywriter from Cape Town.

The guys immigrated to Australia in 1997 and fell  in love with the cool-climate Adelaide Hills and bought and further developed Hahndorf Hill Winery.
Today Larry oversees all vineyard and winery operations at Hahndorf Hill, while Marc is responsible for marketing and the cellar door.

While they produce a number of different varieties, it's the amazing work they do with Gruner Veltliner that makes this brand stand apart. From classic examples to putting their own take on Gruner, we recommend a visit to the beautiful cellar door to learn more.
