K1 by Geoff Hardy Grüner Veltliner
Experience the essence of the Adelaide Hills in every sip of K1 by Geoff Hardy Gruner Veltliner. Nestled in the ancient soils of the K1 Vineyard, this exceptional white wine captures the marriage of old-world Austrian charm and the modern vibrancy and clarity of Australian winemaking.
Discover the Vintage: The year 2021 will be etched in the records for its near-perfect conditions in South Australia’s vineyards. Abundant winter rainfall allowed vines to flourish with lush canopies, while the cool and dry summer ushered in a season of even ripening. This unhurried maturation bestowed the grapes with exceptional flavour development and a natural acidity that’s truly remarkable.
Aromatic Symphony: From the glass, enchanting aromas of exotic Nashi pear and delicate spices ascend, mingling with hints of apple blossom, citrus rind, and a subtle touch of celery. It’s an olfactory prelude to the sensory journey that awaits.
Palate Pleasures: On the palate, a crisp and precise acidity takes the lead, accompanied by notes of green apple, Nashi pear, lemongrass, and invigorating kaffir lime. This symphony of flavours culminates in a long and elegant mineral finish, enhanced by a subtle embrace of French oak (20%) that adds complexity and texture.
Perfect Pairings: Geoff Hardy Gruner Veltliner is the ideal companion for culinary adventures. Its versatility shines when paired with dishes like Thai Beef salads adorned with bean shoots, coriander, mint, and a sweet chilli dressing. Each bite becomes a harmonious dance of flavours.
Cellaring Potential: While this wine is ready to be enjoyed now, its potential to evolve beautifully in the bottle means you can savour it until 2025 or beyond. Whether you choose to indulge in its youthful exuberance or let it mature, the choice is yours.
Unlock the allure of Geoff Hardy Gruner Veltliner, a wine that bridges continents and time, delivering a taste of Austria’s heritage with Australia’s modern charm.

K1 By Geoff Hardy
In 1986, Geoff Hardy found the ideal site for the production of outstanding cool climate grapes in the Adelaide Hills. The vineyard became known as the K1 vineyard, as this unique, ground breaking site was the first vineyard in the Kuitpo region.
Today, the K1 wines are considered to be some of Australia’s finest ultra- premium, single estate wines. The beautifully situated cellar door overlooks the lake and vineyard, and has been recognised as one of Australia’s Top 10 Cellar Door Experiences by a leading wine industry publication. In 2012 and 2014, Winestate Magazine named K1 and Wines by Geoff Hardy as its Australian Winery of the Year. Australia’s most prominent wine writer, James Halliday, has also rated Wines by Geoff Hardy as a 5 red star winery, a top rating only awarded to 10% of wineries in his Wine Companion.
