ADELAIDE HILLS
Piccadilly Valley
Huguan is the Kadazan word for Chief. This cool climate Pinot Noir from the Piccadilly Valley in the Adelaide Hills is fittingly the chief of our range.
Our 2018 Huguan was recently reviewed by Nick Stock of jamessuckling.com -
“Very attractive florals, in the violet and rose spectrum, with red cherries, blueberries and blackcurrants. The palate has a vibrant, juicy and elegant feel with a core of succulent red cherries”.

The vineyard has mainly north facing slopes and is high up on the western slopes of the Piccadilly Valley with an altitude of over 500 meters above sea level, making it one of the highest vineyards in the Adelaide Hills.
The Adelaide Hills is highly regarded as one of the best regions in South Australia to grow cool climate varieties such as Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Noir. With more than half of the vineyard facing north, obtaining ripeness at harvest is more easily managed. These features set the vineyard apart as one of the premier vineyards in the Adelaide Hills.
This high altitude also ensures the vineyard will receive plenty of rainfall with the average yearly rainfall reaching 1 meter.
