Padthaway Information

Located just 60 kilometres north of its famous cousin Coonawarra, the Padthaway wine region shares the same "red gold" terra rossa soil but is significantly warmer and has a different character.

Famed for its Cabernet Sauvignon and Chardonnay grapes, it's no accident that these varieties were planted in the 1960s by Lindemans' Karl Seppelt and David Hardy as the soil types reminded them of the Bordeaux region in France. Other varieties under vine today include Shiraz, Riesling, Sauvignon Blanc and Verdelho.

While the emphasis here is on growing grapes, two cellar doors (the historic Padthaway Estate and the contemporary Hardy's Stonehaven), present historical bookends of the region's winemaking. The two-storey Estate Homestead was built from local limestone in 1882, with landscaped gardens and historic farm buildings completing the charming setting for country-style accommodation and fine dining.
