Dean Hewitson, Founder and Winemaker for the highly regarded Mad Hatter old-vine, ungrafted Shiraz joins us from Adelaide. He utilizes his worldly winemaking talents to transform fruit sourced from dry grown and ancient vineyards into intensely flavored, balanced wines. Hewitson produces traditionally-made, uniquely expressive wines from the great vineyards of South Australia's famous wine regions: Adelaide Hills, Eden Valley, McLaren Vale, and the Barossa Valley. Geographically these regions are collectively known as the “Adelaide Super Zone,” and are home to some of Australia's, and the world's, most celebrated vineyards—many of them dating back to the 1800s.
