The Winter Creek philosophy is to produce the highest quality wine possible and have the terroir of the vineyards reflected in these wines; two vineyards are in the range.
The Barossa Wines are all produced from vines at Williamstown which is located in the most southerly point of the Barossa Valley with the climate being moderated by the near proximity to the Barossa Ranges giving all of the wines a fine austere and subtle flavour.
Whistler Wines is owned and operated by the Pfeiffer Family and Whistler is a direct translation of the German "Pfeiffer"; all of these wines demonstrate why some judges declare the Barossa Valley to be the finest area in Australia for great wine - they are full flavoured yet balanced without the need to be super aggressive which is a common fault of many producers - the Semillon and the GSM are both Parker rated with scores of 90 and 88 respectively.
Parri Estate has been establishing exports in a number of markets since 1998.The vineyard is just north of Victor Harbor on Sneyd Road Mount Compass and is perfectly suited to the production of many varieties of white wine as well as Pinot Noir and big black spicy Shiraz as it is grown on limestone soil.
Wines available are James Haselgrove:
Clark Ingham established his winery in 1994 and quickly established quality vines producing typical Clare Valley luscious fruit. All of the wines have full fruit flavours and careful use of American oak in the red wines has allowed the fruit to remain very evident both to the palate and nose. Most vintages are exported to Europe and only a small percentage is retained for domestic consumption hence quantities are relatively small. The Tempranillo in particular has been most successful at several domestic and international wine shows as well as receiving top marks from Australian Gourmet Traveller Magazine.
Hastwell & Lightfoot is a partnership of old friends Mark & Wendy Hastwell and Martin & Jill Lightfoot. Happily after 18 years in business together, they are still old friends.
