Celebrating Spring!

Spring is here, the blossom is in full flight and the days are becoming warmer,  so we have turned our attention to all things Spring and what that means. It is the beginning of a new season for us, bud burst is happening in the vines and we are looking forward to a great vintage ahead - fingers crossed as long as the weather and all other external elements work with us.

Sadly many vignerons have already suffered badly with early Spring frosts and we truly feel for them all, to have frost so early in the season could mean devastating losses for many in SA. Fortunately we are unscathed and luckily never have had frost in either our Adelaide Hills vineyard here in Woodside or our "piece of gold" as our Clare vineyard was descibed last week by a local viticulturist. We wish every body well and as I often say you need to be tough to be a farmer and thats the difference between those who buy fruit and those who are estate grown as we are and have planted and nurtured from the ground up.

The wines we are currently choosing to drink are the lighter style reds whilst the weather is still cool in the evenings such as Smiling Gamay, Grumpy Old Man Grenache and our new Doghouse Sangiovese. I do like my whites all year round but found I have been choosing the more textural whites with a fuller palate such as our delicious Masterpiece, Grenache Gris which I am totally in love with, Spanish Queen, Albarino, In the Groove, Grüner Veltliner and of course our much loved and awarded Wicked Stepmother, Fiano. I wlll soon though be adding in more delicious whites (we do have numerous to choose from 😊) and our new Prosecco sparkling which is totally yummy.

A busy month has just been completed moving into a new warehouse which will be great, and has been a bit of work for to organise. However we are now settled in and it will make life a lot easier in the long run. 

Thank you to our great guests and members for all your support and visitation and as SA warms up we look forward to seeing many more of you at Cellar Door for a wine in the sun and just a reminder that we are dog friendly to friendly dogs, open daily 11am to 5pm, serving a selection of wonderful local food produce platters, and seated tasting wine experiences and sales.

So get those taste buds into summer mode and bring them to us for a tasting tour of the Mediterranean - no passport required.

See you soon.

Cheers Judy and the Artwine team.

Artwine 2023 Wine Show Successes

We are so thrilled to announce that as the last of the 2023 wine shows has been held we are proud to say that we have been awarded 4 Trophies taking us to a grand total of 41 Trophies overall. These are mainly for our "alternative or new emerging wines" that we have championed over many years, they are the passion and the focus that drives us.

Winning Trophies are:

ANZ Boutique Wine Show - Best Italian Red - Leave Your Hat on, Montepulciano 2022, 

Australian Alternative Variety Wine Show (AAVWS) - Best Iberian Variety - The Real Thing Albarino

Adelaide Hills Wine Show - Best "Other" White - The Real Thing Albarino

Australian Single Vineyard - Best Exhibitor of Show - Top Gold, 2 x Gold , 5 x Silver 4 x Bronze

In addition we achieved 9 x GOLD, 18 x SILVER & 21 BRONZE MEDALS

Two Trophies awarded to our Albarino is a major win, this variety we waited a long time for and now planted on our Adelaide Hills vineyard since 2016 is an absolute winning wine. If you haven't tried it, you should! The perfect summer wine and such a great companion to fish and seafood.

Thank you to all who support  Artwine and we would like to take this opportunity to wish you all a very safe and Happy Christmas 🎄 and a fun relaxing break. Lets hope the news in the world is more positive and uplifting in 2024.

Warmest wishes and good health for the new year Judy, Glen and the Cellar Door team.
