Australia - K1 by Geoff Hardy
In 1987 Geoff Hardy and his family
began planting 30 hectares of vines with the aim of growing the
highest quality grapes for producing super premium wines.
The site, named Kuitpo (‘ky-po’)
Vineyard, is located along the ridge of the Southwest escarpment of
the Mount Lofty Ranges, at a height of between 300 – 350 meters
above sea level.
The combination of this altitude, climate and ancient soils has made
this site ideal for a premium cool climate vineyard.
As this vineyard is the first significant planting in the Kuitpo
region, most people refer to it now as the ‘K1’ vineyard.
Geoff Hardy: Geoff completed his
diploma in Wine Production in 1977 and commenced employment with his
family's 125 year old wine business Thomas Hardy and Sons.
In 1980 with fellow viticultralist Ian Leask he purchased the
promising Pertaringa vineyard in McLaren Vale from the Gilbey
organisation. Pertaringa is still owned and managed by Ian and Geoff
today.
Since this time he has been involved in
the planting of about 3000 hectares of vines and consulted to over
200 different vineyards in Australia, France and Italy. His
extensive knowledge of viticulture and wine production ensures the
creation of outstanding wines.
Geoff won Wine Selectors Inaugural Australian Viticulturalist of the
Year in 2005.
