The Pinot noir at Scary Gully is one of the highest and oldest in the Adelaide Hills and sits upon a ridge of sandstone and quartz. The 2023 vintage ended up being the cooolest and latest vintage on record so we had some serious farming challenges on the steep slopes in the wet! However, the low yielding, cool and slow ripening season has resulted in wines that have a depth and tension we rarely achieved in the Hills, especially from 2023, so this is a true testament to the site.

About the region

South Australia · Adelaide Hills

South Australia grows more wine than any other Australian state, and its subregions behave almost like separate countries. Barossa and Eden Valley give Shiraz and Riesling, McLaren Vale leans to Grenache, Clare Valley to dry Riesling, Adelaide Hills to Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, and Coonawarra to Cabernet on red terra rossa soil. Strict quarantine has kept phylloxera out, so some vineyards still work vines planted in the nineteenth century.
