Mt Bera Vineyards

Boutique producer of Estate Grown Single Vineyard cool climate wine from the beautiful Adelaide Hills near Gumeracha

About the winery
Mt Bera was one of the earliest orchards in the Adelaide Hills and was converted to vineyards in the 1990's. All our wines are from our own estate grown single vineyard grapes. Owned by the Horner family since 2008, we converted to organic and biodynamic practices immediately, but have not yet bothered with certification. We strongly believe a healthy soil and ecosystem provides the opportunity for healthy vines and maximises nutrient intake to provide the best flavours possible. Much of our wine is wild fermented which we feel provides the best expression of our vineyards. The Mt Bera Cellar Door is set in park like gardens overlooking the Torrens Valley. The food at our Cellar Door is all prepared lovingly onsite from mostly organic and local produce.

History & Geography
Due to the massively varying topography we are able to grow a large range of grape varieties requiring quite large temperature variations that would not normally exist near each other. Night time temperatures vary up to 20 degrees within a short distance due to the large hills providing a catchment for cool air to drop down through the valleys. As an example the Gruner Veltliner grows in a high valley with warm days and very cool nights, which provide the best flavours and strong pepper character in the grapes which is one of the signature characteristics of Gruner Veltliner. Right nearby on a steep NE slope grows the Cabernet Sauvignon - above the cool air that drops into the bottom of the valley.
