Symphony Hill Wines

The name encapsulates enjoying the ‘symphony of life’. This includes great wine, great music, great friends, great laughter all merged together towards a life of treasured memories.

Symphony Hill Wines is a group of family and friends bonded together on the quest to make world class wines and to never stop learning. They are a company that wholeheartedly believes in the mind blowing potential of wines grown and made on the Granite Belt. The Granite Belt is the promised land of viticulture with altitudes ranging from 600m to 1000m – all within the one region. As a result climatic conditions vary tremendously allowing all sorts of varieties to excel depending on which altitude they are planted.

The vineyard is the highest of the region allowing the flagship wine, Reserve Shiraz, to produce a style of wine that is unique in Australia and totally different to Shiraz grown at lower altitudes. The Cabernet Sauvignon is harvested in early May which is one month later than Cabernet harvested in Clare Valley, showing how cool the climate is in comparison to other wine regions.

Lower altitude vineyards on the Granite Belt are where they source varieties more suited to slightly warmer conditions, like Petit Verdot and Tempranillo.

They are pioneers in a wine region not previously known for world class wine and for every challenge that comes their way when marketing a new wine region, they see an even bigger opportunity to introduce simply stunning wines that changes the way people think about Australian wine. Their vision for the future of the Australia wine industry, is a shift from traditional Australian wine regions and traditional mainstream varieties to exciting new alternative varieties from new wine regions that excite people like any great wine should. Varieties like Fiano, Petit Manseng, Lagrein and Petit Verdot.

Their winemaker Abraham de Klerk has had decades of experience in some of the worlds best wineries including Chateau Clos du Clocher in Pomerol, working with 3 generations of French vignerons, in close proximity to famous Chateau Petrus and Le Pin. He has a double degree in viticulture and oenology and has an exceptional palate. His ability to distinguish between and appreciate different flavours and aromas is truly gifted.
