OUR HOME – The Adelaide Hills
Mount Lofty – the highest point in the Adelaide Hills – was named by Matthew Flinders when he circumnavigated the coastline of Australia in 1802. Settlers to the area soon followed from England,
Scotland, Wales, Ireland and Germany and many established villages such as Stirling, Crafers and Bridgewater. The cool, green park-like environment of the hills reminded them of home.
Arthur Hardy later planted the first vineyards in the Adelaide Hills right here at Mount Lofty House with Red Madeira. From there the Adelaide Hills Wine Region was born.
Jump forward to the 1970s and 1980s and enter a new group of pioneers including Brian Croser (Petaluma), Stephen George (Ashton Hills), Michael Hill Smith and Martin Shaw (Shaw & Smith) and Geoff Weaver. Over the next 30 years the region became known for its premium, cool-climate wines.
More recently it has become a mecca for small artisan winemakers keen to produce elegant, long lasting European style wines and push the boundaries to new heights. The Basket Ranges kinfolk
certainly smash those boundaries with a range of styles emerging from their corner of The Hills, such as minimal-intervention, natural and orange wines.
Head south to Gumeracha, Ashton and in to Piccadilly Valley and you’ll meet chardonnay fanatics and pinot-philes alike. Nebbiolo from Gumeracha is not to be dismissed either, but leap to the opposite end at Macclesfield and you’ll not only discover this grape in abundance surrounded by brilliant shiraz. We also mustn’t forget that Méthode Traditionelle Sparkling is truly alive and well throughout these hills.
Quite simply, our wine-folk are a passionate breed that hone their skills to achieve the very best that the Adelaide Hills has to offer!
Arthur’s Wine Cellar heroes all that was, is and is set to emerge from this exciting region.
Dine with us for a long story degustation and we will take you on a journey through the Adelaide Hills. From the exciting place that is The Basket Ranges, through emerging varieties that respect our rich
European heritage (hallo Grüner Veltliner!). We will honour a rich history of cool-climate Chardonnay and Pinot Noir right on our door step, Nebbiolo’s from north (Gumeracha) and south (Macclesfield),
that’s not to forget championing Syrah and Cabernets that are elegant and oh so tasty.
In South Australia, we are a parochial lot and can’t help being a little biased about what we do. As a result, we have carefully selected our list to provide a comparative of what we do here with the best of
our national and international wine regions. We’ll let you be the judge…

SAKE
In recent years Sake, Japan’s most singular contribution to the world of fine beverages, has assumed a permanent place in Western dining culture. Simultaneously, Japanese ingredients and cooking techniques have infiltrated Western kitchens. As
they have here, at Hardy’s Verandah Restaurant.
We would like to thank Matt Young of Black Market Sake for his sourcing of these unique, expressive and delicious Sake and offer this small artisanal selection for your delectation. We are also proud to present these Sake in bespoke serving ware
designed and made for us by Nick Mount, a local glass artist of world renown.
Kanpai!
WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?
A Primer on Japanese Sake Brewing Terms
Shuzo Sake Brewery
Junmai 100% pure rice sake made without any additives such as ethyl alcohol, sugar or starches. It is Sake made from rice, water, yeast and koji-kin only.
Koji-kin A starch-breaking mould with the Latin name ‘Aspergillus Oryzae’ that coats the rice with a white, very fragrant outer layer that produces enzymes to convert the rice starch to sugar.
Yamahai A method of using a yeast starter for the brew
Muroka No charcoal filtration
Nama Unpasteurized
Genshu Undiluted
Kimoto A traditional fermentation technique
Usunigori Lightly Cloudy
Ginjo A classification of Sake. The rice grains to be fermented must be polished down to 60% or less of their original size.
Daiginjo Another classification of Sake, where the rice grains to be fermented must be polished down to 50% or less of their original size.

Tōji Sake
Melbourne based founders Yuta and Shar Kobayashi, Tōji Sake is the embodiment and love of all things Japanese. Born in Japan, Yuta fondly recalls time with his Ojiichan (grandfather) in Ibaraki. With his daily ritual of enjoying an afternoon glass of sake, Yuta’s grandfather passed on an appreciation for the timeless virtues of sake, born of tradition and refined over centuries. As a symbol synonymous with Japan, the brewing of sake is held to exacting standards to protect its quality and integrity. Every drop of Tōji Sake has been handcrafted using traditional techniques, with their Tōji (Brewmaster) bringing over 40 years of experience. Tōji selects only the finest ingredients and brewed in the Niigata Prefecture – an area of Japan synonymous with high quality sake. The pristine waters of the Asahi mountain range, coupled with premium rice combine in perfect harmony to create a crisp, well-balanced sake.

CHAMPAGNE
France’s most celebrated and celebratory wine region - whose very name is a synonym for the good life – is undergoing a renaissance. Once completely dominated by large houses - the Grand Marques - it is enjoying an explosion in the number
of independent grower producers who are challenging the status quo and re-defining what Champagne is. Rather than sell their fruit to the Grand Marques, they are electing to make their own distinctive and regionally expressive Champagne.
Grower Champagne. A new idiom for the Old World. We are pleased to offer a selection of both Grower and Grande Marque Champagne for your enjoyment.
GROWERS
The House was founded in Avize by Arthur Agrapart at the end of 19th Century who was succeeded by his grandson in the late 1950’s. A small producer on 12 hectares, Agrapart grows mainly Chardonnay grapes on the chalky soils of the Côte des Blancs.

Andre Clouet Champagne is a small grower with 20 acres on prime sites in Bouzy and Ambonnay, which until recently was relatively unknown. The family has owned these vineyards since 1751, and they are now in the very able hands of Pierre and Francoise Santz-Clouet, and their winemaking son Jean-Francois.
NV 1911 - Grand Cru Pinot Noir 275
Founded in 1930, this domain is considered the grandfather of the grower. The estate covers an area of 12ha, between 8ha in Grand Cru Ambonnay, 2ha in Premier Cru Vrigny on the Petite Montagne (all Pinot Meunier), 1ha in Verzenay (grand cru) and 1ha in Bouzy (grand cru), next door to Ambonnay. It is all grand cru except for the Vrigny fruit. The grape proportions are some 70% Pinot Noir and 30% Chardonnay, as well as the Pinot Meunier from Vrigny. It is run by Francis Egly who practices biodynamic and organic principals in his vineyards.

Champagne Larmandier-Bernier is one of the true stars of the Côte des Blancs. Both the Larmandier and Bernier families have had a long history in the Champagne region, dating back to the French revolution, but it was not until the marriage of Philippe Larmandier and Elisabeth Bernier in 1971 that Champagne Larmandier-Bernier was established. The small house today is directed by Pierre and Sophie Larmandier, who own just under fifteen hectares in some of the finest villages on the Côte des Blancs: Cramant, Chouilly, Oger and Avize (all Grand Crus), as well as in the fine premier cru village of Vertus.

Vouette et Sorbée only started releasing Champagnes about 10 years ago. Bertrand Gautherot used to sell grapes to other Champagne producers, but after some convincing by his friend Anselme Selosse, he started producing Champagne under his own name in 2001, with his first wine released in 2004.

GRANDE MARQUES
One of the original grand marques, Ayala was founded in 1860 by Spanish aristocrat Edmond d’Ayala. Ayala is often described as ‘feminine’ in style. This is due to a higher percentage of Chardonnay in the blends; the purity that low dosage brings and fermentation in stainless steel tanks to retain freshness and pristine characters. Ayala has an enviable supply of Grand and Premier Cru fruit with an extremely high rating on the echelle de crus. Interestingly, Ayala’s haute couture dry blends are crafted by one of the few female cellar masters in Champagne, Caroline Latrive.

CHAMPAGNE
GRANDE MARQUES
Pol Roger champagne house was founded in 1849 in Aÿ and moved to Epernay two years later. The brand quickly became known internationally, especially in the British and US markets. Winston Churchill once described Pol Roger as the most delectable address in the world! A cuvee in his name was launched in 1975.
2004 Cuvee Sir Winston Churchill Pinot Meunier Pinot Noir Chardonnay 520
This prestigious champagne house near Reims Cathedral was founded in 1836. When Louis Pommery died in 1858, his 39-year-old wife, Louise, took over the business he had established just two years before with the wine merchant Narcisse Greno. Over the years, she showed herself to be an astute businesswoman.
2005 Grand Cru Pinot Noir Chardonnay 245
1999 Cuvee Louise Chardonnay Pinot Noir 395
The origins of Taittinger champagnes can be traced back to the wine merchant Jacques Fourneaux who established a company in 1734. This business moved premises to the House of the Counts of Champagne in the 19th century and was taken over by the Taittinger family in 1931 who then gave the company its name.

Launched in 1998 with the 1995 vintage, Yattarna is the result of one of the most comprehensive, focused and highly publicised wine development projects ever conducted in Australia. The aspiration and independence of mind across generations of Penfolds winemakers inspired the winery to embark on a program to create a white wine that stands alongside Grange. Selectively sourcing only the very best Chardonnay fruit from cool-climate regions, coupled with sensitive winemaking, the style continues to evolve.

CHARDONNAY
Located in sight just below our perch here on Mount Lofty, in the postcard perfect Piccadilly Valley is the Tiers Chardonnay Vineyard. A living South Australian viticulture icon and treasure.
First planted by Brian Croser in 1979 with further plantings in 1981 it remains one of the oldest and most favorably sited vineyards in the Adelaide Hills, consistently producing superb renditions of this, the premier white variety for the Hills, Chardonnay.

In 2003, the 1979 planting was ripped up and replanted with different clones on a tight 1.5M₂ spacing between vines, then trained on a low fruiting wire, adopting Grand Cru Burgundy viticultural best practice. Vinification is identical to The Tiers. 2015 is the inaugural release of this separate bottling.

THE MINX
NEW WORLD PINOT
One of the most anticipated and highly sought Australian pinot noir releases each year. These single vineyards have grown a cultish status over their short history.
2018 Giant Steps Applejack Vineyard 115
Applejack Vineyard is located in the Upper Yarra Valley, to the south-east of the traditional valley floor. The vineyard is located on a dramatic, north-east facing slope with closely planted vines. The wine is acid-driven, light and fragrant in style and has a sense of sleekness from fine pinot tannins.
2018 Giant Steps Primavera Vineyard 115
Primavera Vineyard produces a pinot from the MV6 clone in the Upper Yarra Valley. This is the juicier of the Upper Valley pair and is enticingly fragrant, delivering a palate of satin smooth red fruits and spices.
2018 Giant Steps Wombat Creek Vineyard 115
Wombat Creek Vineyard is the highest altitude vineyard in the Yarra Valley. The underlying ferrous based volcanic soil and rock produce a distinctively soft yet long and firm palate. Loaded with sweet red berry fruits, spiked with green herbs and a touch of truffle/mushroom.
Mount Mary was one of the first vineyards planted in the resurgence of the Yarra Valley as a premium wine producing region. In the 1960’s John and Marli Middleton, driven by a passion for fine table wine, made many visits to Bordeaux and Burgundy and soon became hooked on premium French wines. As such, these pinots are driven to replicate those Burgundies that they fell in love with.

Chateauneuf du Pape, the region of France upon which Nine Popes is based, when translated to English means “Castle of the new Pope”, as it was the home to the alternate papacy in the 13th Century. But in many of the old languages the word “neuf” can mean both “nine” and “new”. Problem was, Charles’ French skills were a tad light on (non-existent!!) when taking inspiration for the name of this wine and he thought Chateauneuf du Pape meant home of the “Nine” Popes…

Kalleske Greenock Shiraz is a single vineyard wine sourced from a low yielding block consisting of shallow sandy loam over superb deep red clay, providing ideal conditions for shiraz vines. The resultant wine is one of power and length after spending two years in hogsheads, before being bottled without fining or filtration.

While single vineyard shiraz bottlings have a lengthy history in Australia going back to 1952 and the first bottling from the Hill of Grace vineyard by the Henschkes, the focus on wines from various sub regions within districts like the Barossa Valley is a fairly recent phenomenon. Rockford’s first SVS shiraz bottlings came from the 1996 vintage, almost a full decade before other wineries followed their lead.

In 1964 the Barry’s purchased 70 acres of prime river flats from Duncan McRae Wood in the Armagh area of Clare. This property would go on to be the foundation of their red wine production. Jim Barry planted the 3,3 hectare Armagh Vineyard in 1968 with Shiraz grapes. It has since gone on to achieve extraordinary success and is regarded as one of Australia’s highest quality wines. The McRae Wood shiraz is a nod to Duncan McRae Wood and is considered The Armagh’s baby brother.

Wendouree is considered by many wine lovers to be among the most beautiful and distinctive wines this country has to offer. Alfred Percy Birks ‘AP Birks’, along with one of his brothers, are responsible for its humble beginnings in 1892.

THE EMPEROR
Emperor Napoleon III requested a classification system for France's best Bordeaux wines in 1855 to be on display for visitors from around the world. The result was the Bordeaux Wine Official Classification of 1855 when Brokers from the wine industry
ranked the wines according to a château's reputation and trading price, which at that time was directly related to quality. Today producers are still ranked in importance from first to fifth growths (crus).
