Adelaide Hills winery Wicks Estate has just expanded its potential production.
Family-owned Wicks Estate, founded in 1999, today announced the acquisition of the Charleston Vineyard, a 47.2-hectare estate located in the heart of the Adelaide Hills.
The purchase marks a significant step in Wicks Estate’s commitment to producing premium cool-climate wines and expanding its presence in one of Australia’s top wine regions.
Located six kilometres north-east of Woodside, Charleston Vineyard comprises 38.6 hectares under vine, planted to varieties including sauvignon blanc, shiraz, chardonnay, tempranillo, pinot gris, prosecco, albariño, and grüner veltliner.
Wicks says the estate features extensive infrastructure, including a well-appointed office complex set within a stone cottage, a large machinery shed, dedicated chemical storage facilities and an 83ml water licence supported by modern irrigation systems.
“The acquisition of Charleston Vineyard marks an exciting new chapter for Wicks Estate," says Simon Wicks, director of Wicks Estate Wines.
"The property’s scale, vineyard diversity, and exceptional infrastructure align perfectly with our vision for sustainable growth and excellence in winemaking.
"We look forward to integrating Charleston’s premium fruit into our portfolio and continuing to showcase the best of the Adelaide Hills.
”The acquisition of Charleston Vineyard enhances Wicks Estate's ability to craft elegant, contemporary wines that celebrate the region’s unique terroir, while opening new opportunities for innovation and collaboration. It's a very exciting time for the family-owned and operated business."
