From Tempranillo, to Sangiovese and Cabernet Franc, we have popular and sought after varieties, and of course our fabulous Adina Shiraz.
Adina Red wines
Our Most Popular Red Wine Varieties
2019 Sangiovese
The flavour and aroma of this wine varietal reflects the land on which it is grown, or gout de terroir. Our terroir constitutes clay soils, a warm to sometimes dry and hot summer climate, and rolling hills. These factors combine to produce a rustic earth-flavoured wine which pairs beautifully with foods that taste of tomato and herbs such as pizzas, anything Italian, and roasted meats.
2019 Tempranillo
Medium ruby in colour this Spanish grape varietal is famous for its natural capacity to age (up to 20 years). After spending time on French and American oak this wine has red-fruit flavours of cherry, considerable raspberry, and/or some savoury flavours; all pairing well with steak, lamb, and tomato-based foods. Our Hunter Valley Tempranillo grapes love the sun but do not love too much wind. Our clay-based soils produce a wine high in tannins, all the better for ageing well. A very popular wine and ageing better by the minute.
2018 Reserve and 2018 Estate Shiraz
Two wines, same vintage, both very different, do a vertical tasting with your friends. The Reserve was oaked in high quality American oak barrels, it is a deep, rich, ruby colour, full-bodied and will only get better with age. Smooth and complex it exhibits aromas and flavours of red berries, chocolate, maybe a bit smokey (not smoke tainted), but certainly incredibly delicious. Grown in the Hunter Valley, this wine is a typical ‘fruit- forward’ example of a warm climate Shiraz. This wine that does not collapse after opening and does not need food to accompany it.
The 2018 Estate Shiraz is perfect to drink around the barbie; it is fruity and medium-bodied complimenting the delicious charcoal flavours of BBQ food.
Adina White wines
Classic Hunter Valley White Wines
2019 Pinot Grigio
This is one of our most popular white wines. It is medium bodied, dry and voluptuous with a flowery aroma and a fruit forward flavour, all these characteristics are typical of the Grigio grapes grown in the Hunter Valley’s warmer climate. Drink this wine now!
2018 Chardonnay
An absolute favourite for all occasions with our customers, this is such a spectacular wine. This wine has only spent a short time on oak for 7 months and with the benefit of time has acquired a silky yellow colour, has bountiful and satisfying flavours of stone fruit and maybe vanilla, it is complex and interesting and it does not fall apart on opening.
Rosé & Sparkling Wine
Signature Blushes and Bubbles
2021 Alicia Rosé
Our Signature Rosé has an alluring soft rhubarb colour; it is dry in style and is made from what our winemaker calls a ‘field blend’ of Sangiovese and Cabernet. It is lightly oaked and has flavours of strawberries and citrus, finishing with a toffee edge.
2020 Flora Sparkling Shiraz
An exciting addition to our Sparkling Wine range is our Hunter Valley Sparkling Shiraz. A beautiful rich shade of rhubarb and plum; when poured a pinkish blush of bubbles settle around the edge of the glass. A very easy-drinking celebratory wine with a soft, slight flush of sweetness.
BUT BE CAREFUL WHEN OPENING, BE GENTLE.
2014 Sparkling Pinot Noir/Chardonnay
Wine critic Huon Hooke describes this sparking wine as a:
“Medium straw-yellow colour with a resiny, toasty, straw bouquet; the wine has substantial aged character and some complexity. Toasty, roasted hazelnut flavours, dry and savoury yet also soft and balanced, and easy-drinking. There is considerable richness and amplitude, but fades on the finish. It’s more about Hunter terroir than anything”. Huon Hooke.
This wine rightfully deserves the silver rating he gave it.
