Pertaringa, McLaren Vale
In 1980, Geoff left the family company, Thomas Hardy & Sons, to make his own way in the Australian wine world. Today, Wines by Geoff Hardy is made up of three South Australian wineries founded by Geoff - Pertaringa in McLaren Vale, K1 by Geoff Hardy in the Adelaide Hills and Hand Crafted by Geoff Hardy / GMH sourced from a variety of premium regions across South Australia.
Geoff Hardy established Pertaringa shortly after leaving the family company in 1980. Since then, the Pertaringa vineyards in the foothills behind McLaren Vale have continued to produce some of the region's finest wines. The soils are enriched from the hills above and the cooler climate, further tempered by the sea breezes off St Vincent’s Gulf, sets the scene for high quality wine grapes.
The name Pertaringa means ‘belonging to the hills’ and originates from the local Kaurna indigenous language.
