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. 


Featuring Fresh Rosé 2013,

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.
