Established in 1992, Mt Lofty Ranges Vineyard is a sustainable, niche, boutique vineyard nestled high in the Adelaide Hills at Lenswood, South Australia.

The first wines were produced in 1997 and in 1998, the Cellar Door was opened, which was one of the first in the Adelaide Hills. Once an apple orchard in the 1950s, the property is set on a steep sloping parcel of land 550 metres above sea level. In 2009, Sharon Pearson and Garry Sweeney took over the picturesque vineyard after a 6 year exhaustive search to find a property that suited their dedicated philosophy.

Sharon & Garrys mission is to create cool climate premium wines from the distinctive terroir of the Lenswood area and believe minimal intervention in the vineyard is the key to enable distinctive fruit flavours to shine through. Their focus is on creating single vineyard, estate grown wines which enhance the boutique nature of the vineyard and cellar door experience for visitors.

All vines are hand pruned and all grapes are handpicked, one of only a few wineries still employing these age old practices for the entire vineyard. Typical of cool climate characteristics, Mt Loftys soil is rich with white quartz and sandstone, adding to the mineral crispness of the wines flavour.

The estate grown range includes Sauvignon Blanc, Riesling, Chardonnay, Pinot Noir Rose, Pinot Noir and a Methode Traditionelle Sparkling. By combining excellence in quality with value, Garry and Sharons passion for the craft of winemaking has fast gained acclaim.

Since 1999, Mt Lofty Ranges Vineyard has a proud history at the Adelaide Hills Wine Show as an award winner, picking up the much coveted Wine of Show Trophy in 2004.

Mt Lofty Ranges Vineyard proudly adopts a sustainable, approach to farming and is home to koalas, kangaroos, echidnas and native birdlife, half of the property has been retained as pristine natural bushland.
