The Woodside Park family owns 40 acres of vineyard in the Onkaparinga Valley, in the GI region of Adelaide Hills. The Hills are the premium cool climate area situated between Barossa and McLaren Vale in the same mountains range. Their vineyard is one of the largest in the Adelaide Hills and immediately adjacent to other outstanding Vineyards owned by leading Australian premium cool climate producers.
The Onkaparinga Valley area was recognized as some of the best land in the State of South Australia by the early settlers. The vineyard property was originally opened up by the South Australian Company in 1840. The first man to work the land was a German settler, Johann Köhlhagen whose home built in 1857, still stands on the property. The land originally farmed wheat, barley, potatoes and cattle and Johann first sold his produce at market in Adelaide in 1849.
Fruit quality which is reflected in the overall quality of Woodside Park Wines, is of the utmost importance to the family. The family’s sustainable vineyard practices have been constantly applauded by the local grape growing community. As the vineyard has previously experienced heat waves, winemakers are amazed at how well their vineyard has coped in these conditions, producing superior fruit quality, so much so these vineyard practices are being adopted by the community.
