The Adelaide Hills are considered to be the coldest wine growing region in continental Australia, second only to Tasmania in the country as a whole. Windy conditions make this an ideal spot for grapes with smaller berries that thrive in cooler climates. The Willsmore vineyard is one of the highest and coldest sites at over 2,000 feet elevation!
