Adelina

Adelina is a Mattinson 10-Star Winery.
Only the best of Australia’s best wineries are ranked as a Mattinson 10-Star Winery.

The modern face of Australian wine is, at heart, at its best, traditional. It’s the brave new face of history. Few Australian wine producers capture this best face better than the Adelina winery, located on Wendouree Road in the sub-region of Springfarm, in the Clare Valley. Every one of Adelina’s wines – typically wines of both body and finish – is carefully grown, designed and made. The bedrock of Adelina is its shiraz vines, planted in 1915, its grenache vines, planted in 1940, and its Pedro Ximenez, also planted in 1915, upon which are layered newer plantings of malbec, mataro and more shiraz. All these vineyards are farmed organic. Every time I drink a wine of Adelina I get two sips in and suddenly have the urge to get in my car and drive to the Clare Valley and head to the place on Wendouree Road where its owners Jen and Col McBryde toil and grow and inspire. The wines have that evocation. They rouse.
