Our home in the Adelaide Hills is where nature, creativity, and passion come together to create some of the finest wines in the world.
Nestled in the heart of the Adelaide Hills, our Balhannah Vineyard is also home to the Nepenthe Cellar Door - a place where exceptional wine and breathtaking scenery come together. Here, you can savour our award-winning wines while gazing out over the vineyard’s rolling hills and lush, green landscape.
Though modest in size at just 20 hectares, Balhannah is a vineyard of remarkable character. Its unique terroir and growing conditions enable us to craft some of the region’s most distinctive wines. The vineyard’s south and east-facing slopes are naturally shielded from the harsh afternoon sun, while the rich, fertile soils support generous canopies that protect the fruit during growing and ripening. A cool microclimate flows through the vines, making it an ideal site for delicate varietals like Pinot Noir.
The combination of high altitude and cooling ocean breezes promotes slow, gentle ripening preserving the natural acidity and vibrant expression of the grapes. This allows our winemakers to showcase the purest reflection of each varietal, with minimal intervention. Alongside Pinot Noir, Balhannah also nurtures Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Gris, and Chardonnay - which is used to craft our elegant Prestige Cuvée.
That’s what makes our Balhannah vineyard so special - a true expression of nature, nurtured by hand and bottled for you to enjoy.
Our newly renovated Nepenthe Cellar Door is a state-of-the-art building that makes the most of our iconic Adelaide Hills location with its floor to ceiling windows, an expansive deck, and a Barrel Room that opens up directly to the lawn to ensure you have a view wherever you’re seated.
