    Paracombe, Australia
    Paracombe is not a large winery, but it is a very special one. It's located in the Adelaide Hills, one of the most highly regarded cool climate regions of South Australia. The grapevines are meticulously cared for. And to take advantage of the morning sun for optimum fruit ripening, most of the vines are planted facing east. All red grapes are handpicked and the fruit is fermented cool in open tanks, hand plunged and then basket pressed. None of the wines are filtered. A three-year barrel rotation of French and American oak is employed with the red wines resting in oak for 20 months. The Paracombe vineyard was originally planted in 1983, following the Ash Wednesday bush fires that devastated the Adelaide Hills in February of that year. Proprietors Paul and Kathy Drogemuller took over a former dairy farm with the belief that it would be a good vineyard site and produce high quality fruit. Paracombe's first vintage was 1992, and although small in total production, the wines have developed a large following among wine lovers and restaurateurs in Australia, the United Kingdom, and the U.S. Today, in fact, much of Paracombe's yearly production is sold out before it's even bottled.

    Capable of a vast array of styles, Sauvignon Blanc is a crisp, refreshing variety that equally reflects both terroir and varietal character. Though it can vary depending on where it is grown, a couple of commonalities always exist—namely, zesty acidity and intense aromatics. This variety is of French provenance. Somm Secret—Along with Cabernet Franc, Sauvignon Blanc is a proud parent of Cabernet Sauvignon. That green bell pepper aroma that all three varieties share is no coincidence—it comes from a high concentration of pyrazines (herbaceous aromatic compounds) inherent to each member of the family.

    Adelaide refers to the diverse super zone in South Australia containing the Mount Lofty Ranges Zone (Adelaide Hills, Adelaide Plains and Clare Valley), Fleurieu Zone (Currency Creek, Kangaroo Island, Langhorne Creek, McLaren Vale, and Southern Fleurieu) and Barossa Zone (Barossa Valley and Eden Valley).

    The Adelaide Hills region is distinguished and beautiful, offering a cool respite in the summer for Adelaide city dwellers. With vineyards planted fairly high in elevation at 1,500 to 1,800 feet, it is known for particularly fine, citrus-driven Sauvignon Blanc.

    The Adelaide Plains is a hot region northwest of the Adelaide Hills that produces approachable, value-driven wines.
