Destination: 'Adelina, Clare Valley’



Adelina is a small winery and vineyard situated between the Aberfeldy and Wendouree vineyards, approximately 4km south east of the township of Clare. The vineyard has an elevation of approximately 450 metres above sea level, and was originally planted in 1910 to Shiraz, Grenache, and Cabernet Sauvignon. The Gardner family have owned the vineyard since 1986 which is now in the hands of Jennie Gardner and Colin McBryde. The Adelina label is used for wine from their home estate vineyard, while Some Young Punks is their experimental range. Inspired by friend Nic Bourke’s collection of pulp fiction novels, the SYP range combines innovative marketing with serious wine making and has included such labels as “Naked on Roller Skates”, “The Squids Fist”, “Passion has Red Lips” and “Monsters, Monsters Attack!”
