World Class German Arms Hotel & Restaurant

Welcome to the German Arms
Hotel & Restaurant, Town of Hahndorf

Since the last round of exploration, now it is time to tug in for lunch :) We came by the German Arms Hotel & Restaurant for a German meal, of course! It lies beneath at the basement, which seems a rare find.

Quote of the day!

Pork knuckles! Believe it or not we had half of this left to take-away

This portion we had was unexpectedly humongous for three!

From its menu, this stimulated our senses~ 'Why not try the limited release Monteith's "Apricot Wheat Beer" & or Apple and Honey Hybrid Cider'.  Hence here we go and ordered these two pints. We sure had our fill!

While we stroll, I have gathered some shots along the streets of Hahndorf..

We finally reached one of our destinations, recommended for candy purchases. Indeed, there is a fair spread of favourite sweets and lollies from childhood stocked here (i.e flavoured fudge, etc), up for grabs if you are a candy-lover. 

Hahndorf Hill Winery

The exterior of Hahndorf Hill Winery appears to be a historical village, known to be the oldest German settlement in Australia.

From previous references, I read that Adelaide Hills wine region is renowned for Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Grigio, cool-climate Shiraz and fresh rosé. With the urge to explore the finest wines of classic varieties found here, I feel excitement to witness a wide selection for wine tasting. To have a better appreciation for their offered variety, we took time to sit through their introduction on the more popular selection.

After the tasting, bought a bottle of Rosé 2013, which I personally liked with a tinge of sweetness in itself. On its menu, it is a new release!

'HHW Rosé 2013 - Trollinger and Blaufrankisch

Totally different, totally unique. This exotic Rosé is a blend of the red German/Austrian varieties. 

Trollinger and Blaufrankisch. Hahndorf Hill Winery is the only producer of these two varieties. This juice was fermented dry and crisp like a zesty white wine. Super fresh with tart cherries quince and rose petals plus excellent structure on the palate allows this to be the perfect match with seafood, Thai or chilli-based cuisine.'

As it says, to match Rosé with seafood or any chilli-based cuisine, I had never attempted to do so though. Still, it tastes brillant by itself!

If you are feeling a little more passion, craving for a zesty and zingy taste, loving fresh tropical flavors and would like a twist, you may wish to go for Sauvignon Blanc.
