Description
Hahndorf Hill’s six-hectare vineyard is located at the edge of historic Hahndorf village and on the slopes of a gentle hill which, over a century ago, contained a slate quarry. It is very apparent when walking along the slopes of the vineyard blocks at Hahndorf Hill that slate forms a significant part of the mineral component of the soils.
The vineyard topsoils consist of a sandy-loam and red-clay blend, richly embellished with blue-red slate, quartz and ironstone intrusions. The subsoils comprise deep red clay. This abundance of diverse mineral components in the soil translates into a distinct mineral element in all their wines, which is especially beneficial for their Austrian varieties – such as Gruner Veltliner – at which they excel and have pioneered over the past 25 years.
The Adelaide Hills’ slow ripening, cool-climate environment allows for all their grapes to benefit from an extended ripening season with beautifully warm days and cold nights. This diurnal variation is a significant quality defining factor according to producers of these varieties in their native Austria. Hahndorf Hill believe in environmentally sustainable methods to bring out the finesse and vitality in their wines.
About this wine from the winemaker: “This 2024 vintage Pinot Grigio is a stunning wine made from hand-harvested grapes from the Adelaide Hills wine region. The gorgeous aroma is like finding yourself in a spring orchard filled with apple and pear blossoms. The palate is fresh and vibrant with an explosion of poached pear flavours, plus a twitch of lime peel texture in the long, juicy tail. Enjoy with all white meats, pastas, all things vegetarian and your favourite seafood dishes.”
Pale straw in colour. Bursting with the delicate perfume of white blossoms and fresh pear. Juicy and fresh with delicate apple and pear flavours. A joyous and vibrant acidity flows the length of the palate.

94 points, The Vintage Journal – SA Wine Guide 2026 “Proper Grigio tendencies here, with fragrant pear and subtle musk notes to begin, air-lifted and open to allow fresh and bright fruit tingle vibes to drive the drinking senses with energy and joy in the style. Lemon dominates the citrus leans, clear and fresh, sunshine and orchards in the glass. Drink now–2032.”
92 points, JamesSuckling.com, Ryan Montgomery “White orchard fruit, flowers, cantaloupe and citrus blossoms on the nose. The palate is mid-weighted with plenty of fruit generosity, bright acidity and a textured, giving mouthfeel. Varietal and refreshing. Drink now. Screw cap.”
