Whisson Lake
is a five-hectare Pinot Noir vineyard in the Piccadilly Valley of
the Adelaide Hills. We are a terroir-focused winery and believe
fundamentally that where you are is who you
are.
This is where
we are:

WHERE
you are is
WHO
you are!
What is terroir? Terroir is the French
term given to the sum total of a particular site's geology, aspect,
soil type, macroclimate, miroclimate and microbiology. For a
vineyard to produce superlative wines, the grape variety must be
chosen with care to match the site. Our site, we believe, is a
world-class position for Pinot Noir and that is all we produce. We
respect the integrity of our site and our grapes and produce wines
that are a pure reflection of our terroir.
To learn more about terroir and why is it
important for Australia, no one says it better than British
journalist Andrew Jefford. Click

the live audio recording of a speech given in December 2009 by
Jefford; the full text is also available at www.andrewjefford.com

Again'.
