Paul and Kathy Drogemuller’s ancient river–bed vineyard near the Hills face is amenable to a wide variety of wine styles. This Sauvignon Blanc reminded James of ’lemon sherbet’ while Tom liked its ’evenness’ of ’mandarin–peel’ flavour and ’creamy weight’. The Adelaide Review Hot 100 South Australian WinesAnother great result from the Drogemullers’ Paracombe vineyard that has plenty of gooseberry and tropical fruit, really fresh and lifted. The palate is a smoothly textured and ripe, flavoursome mouthful of tropicals and gooseberry fruit flavour, some melon through the finish and a fresh, clean appeal.
Nick Stock ,The Penguin Good Australian Wine Guide 2010,Score 93 points 4 ½ starsPlenty of gooseberry and tropical fruit aromas, really fresh and lifted. The palate is smoothly textured, clean and ripe tropical flavours–some melon through the finish.
Paracombe is consistently at the top of the tree when it comes to many of the most important styles in the Adelaide Hills. This Sauvignon has a good dose of gooseberry and tropical fruit flavour with the kind of irresistible clean, crisp finish that keeps you coming back for more, and more.

Nick Stock, Sumptuous Magazine, Dec/Jan 2010Holland Creek Riesling 2008
From the Adelaide Hills, this is a very refined, tight, racy Riesling with a haunting fragrance and a bracing vitality in the mouth. Good acidity yet soft, with a refinement that seems set to preserve it if cellared. Now to six years.
Huon Hooke, Good Living, Sydney Morning Herald 92 points July 2009Elements of spice and candied fruit frame the bouquet; the palate shows a zesty lemon personality, with a talcy texture and zesty citrus finish.
James Halliday, Wine Companion 2010, 92 pointsA nice, fresh lime–scented Adelaide Hills Riesling that’s compact and restrained, well captured and savoury. The palate is fine–cut and flavoured with citrus and apple fruits, really sparkling with zesty acidity and finishing with freshness and fragrance.

return to white wines page one
Perched up in the cool Adelaide Hills, Paracombe have delivered a complex yet restrained chardonnay that has terrific balance. Some gently flinty aromas, citrus and nectarine fruits, the oak works in beautifully. The palate plays savoury against fruit flavour in superb form in this fresh everyday wine – terrific all–round appeal.
