The Ceravolo vineyards are on highly prized Terra Rossa
red soils over limestone on the fertile Adelaide Plains
in South Australia. Fifty years ago, the Ceravolo family
migrated from Calabria in the 35' north parallel in the
south of Italy to a new life in the 35' south parallel
in Australia.
Adelaide Plains wines are noted for their intense rich
colours and full fruit flavours ... displaying softness
and character at a very early age. It is one of the
oldest wine regions in Australia ... grapes were known
to have been first planted there in 1848. Historians
tell us that Max Schubert made the original Penfolds
Grange with Adelaide Plains grapes and it is said that
Wolf Blass sourced his grapes from the Adelaide Plains
for his original Jimmy Watson Trophy wine.
We hope you enjoy Joe, Heather and Antony’s wines
as much as we do.
