OUR WINES
At Kirrihill, we specialise in beautifully aromatic Riesling, soft and velvety Shiraz, lush and powerful, yet elegant Cabernet Sauvignon from South Australia’s Clare Valley. Not to forget small parcels of dark and brooding Malbec plus robust and spicy Mataro from our Schobers Vineyard in Auburn, also in the Clare Valley.
We source the grapes for our small batch range from McLaren Vale and the Mount Lofty Ranges. These wines include soft and juicy Nero d’Avola and structured, savoury Montepulciano, giving the Kirrihill winemakers a chance to dabble in something different to the classic Clare Valley varieties.
Whether enjoying with a charcuterie board, backyard BBQ, seafood on the deck or catching up with friends for dinner, Kirrihill's delicious wines will match the occasion. Within the Kirrihill Wines portfolio, we have three ranges.

Our Vineyards
Kirrihill’s highly prized Schobers Vineyard is one of the most distinguished red wine producing vineyards in Australia. Planted in the 1970’s, Schobers Vineyard is located in Auburn at the southern tip of the Clare Valley and sits atop the ‘Golden Mile’, a stretch of rare terra rossa soil. Schobers Vineyard produces Shiraz, Cabernet Sauvignon, Malbec and Mataro wines of exceptional quality and complexity, which are rich in concentration with distinctive Clare Valley character, aroma and flavour. The micro-climates within the small valleys that make up the Clare Valley region provide the Kirrihill winemakers with a diversity of Riesling fruit to produce elegant and aromatic Rieslings. Slate Creek vineyard in Watervale, also planted in the 1970’s, produces grapes of sublime character and finesse and is the only vineyard in Watervale that grows Riesling, and only Riesling, concentrating that which is done best in Watervale.

Experience Kirrihill
Kirrihill does not have a cellar door at present, so we have designed a highly bespoke winery experience to cater for the true wine enthusiast. By appointment only, enjoy our award-winning wines in the form of a vertical Riesling tasting and a selection of our Shiraz and Cabernet Sauvignon. The vertical tasting provides great insight as to the aroma and flavour of young Riesling as well as how beautifully the Kirrihill Riesling matures and develops with bottle age. The Shiraz and Cabernet are specialised indications of the Clare Valley and how the terroir influences the red wines produced. These tastings are available by prior appointment only, please contact our Brand Manager, Catherine, via cellar@kirrihill.com.au to organise your bespoke experience. We look forward to hosting you. Cheers!
