Next up in our 'Meet the Winemaker' series, we are excited to be joined by Karan Singh, Viticulturist & Cellar Door Manager for Karrawatta Wines.
Discover the rich heritage and exceptional quality of Karrawatta Wines, a legacy that dates back to 1847 when Joseph Gilbert made his first wine. Born from a coin toss at a local South Australian pub, the Karrawatta name was set aside for ‘Pewsey Vale’ — but the passion for crafting remarkable wines lived on through generations of the Gilbert family.
Today, Karrawatta embraces this storied past while forging a contemporary path with single-vineyard, small-batch wines. Sourced from three exceptional vineyards across the Adelaide Hills, McLaren Vale, and Langhorne Creek, every bottle reflects a deep connection to the land and a dedication to organic, low-intervention winemaking.
With a focus on growing the right varieties in the perfect regions, Karrawatta wines are celebrated for their elegance, complexity, and harmony — an authentic representation of South Australia’s wine excellence.
It’s our pleasure to be able to show the following wines to you.
2023 Karrawatta Anna's Sauvignon Blanc
2020 Karrawatta Anth's Garden Chardonnay
2018 Karrawatta Dairy Block Shiraz
