Take a throw back to the 80s with this disco styled Chardonnay with flared pants and inch-thick glasses, featuring plenty of toasty goodness, a bowl of buttered popcorn and plenty of stone fruit hiding underneath. Don’t be a square, get on board this train to funky, yet equally delicious town and take a trip down memory lane.

Mark and Jen Vella are farmers first and foremost, churning out high end grapes for years on end as well as managing cattle on their property. For this duo, it was a case of supplying wineries with stunning Adelaide Hills fruit for years on end before finally biting the bullet and having a crack at turning grapes into wine. The great thing when vigneron becomes winemaker is that they know their produce better than anyone, and just like any Michelin star chef, they get to work with the best produce. Today Mark and Jen are producing a small range of wines from their own vineyards with a focus on two leading Adelaide Hills varieties, Chardonnay and Pinot Noir as well as a couple of up and coming varieties, Pinot Blanc and Gamay. Gamay is the hottest property right now, with any millennial winemaker selling the vintage 1980s t-shirt off their back for a few buckets of the stuff. Luckily Mark gambled on Gamay becoming something one day and he now has enough vines to keep him happy as well as a growing collection of second hand t-shirts.
