Whisson Lake

Whisson Lake Whisson Lake Wines go beyond single vineyard. Our east-facing hillside curves and rises so steeply i

Back in 1985, we took a grand departure from Australian tradition and joined the first wave of Pinot Noir viticulture in the high country of the Adelaide Hills. After a lot of looking, we settled on the extreme slope of Mount Carey within the Piccadilly Valley, a vertigo-inducing 15-acre hillside that rises more than 600m above sea level. We believe it’s a world-class location for Pinot Noir – so

that’s all we produce. As our vines age and we learn to be ever more sensitive with our winemaking, we’ve discovered entirely different wines can appear in barrel from different parts of the vineyard. That’s because, planted in the right place, Pinot Noir is something of a magnifying glass, boosting subtle terroir differences. We now divide our vineyard into a series of carefully selected single sections, sometimes little more than a few rows. From these sections, we produce entirely distinct Pinot Noir wines – at least four so far, with more likely to come.
