About Adelina

Adelina began as a way to make wines for family and friends from the Gardner’s family estate in Clare. In the early 2000s, Jen Gardner and her partner-in-crime, Colin McBryde, decided to take things to the next level with the first commercial release of Adelina. The small vineyard & winery are set in the Springfarm sub-region of Clare, and managed entirely organically.

Product Notes

From a single vineyard site - Smith’s House Block - in the Polish Hill River sub-region of Clare Valley, with grey sandy loam on shale and limestone soils. Fruit is destemmed and mildly crushed, fermented in concrete, and macerated for 14 days before being racked to neutral 700l French oak. Aged for ~9 months before bottling. Certified organic.
