Geoff takes great pride in the blending of these varietals to to make a robust wine heralding in style from the Spanish region of Navrra to make wine with a Long Life. The Tempranillo adds juicy mulberry characters and spiciness to the balnced fruit in the middle palate of the Cabernet Sauvignon.
In 1987 Geoff Hardy and his family began planting 30 hectares of vines with the aim of growing the highest quality grapes for producing super premium wines.
The site, named Kuitpo (‘ky-po’) Vineyard, is located along the ridge of the Southwest escarpment of the Mount Lofty Ranges, at a height of between 300 – 350 meters above sea level.
The combination of this altitude, climate and ancient soils has made this site ideal for a premium cool climate vineyard.
As this vineyard is the first significant planting in the Kuitpo region, most people refer to it now as the ‘K1’ vineyard.
