About Amadio Wines

Main Collage

A third-generation, family-owned winery crafting cool-climate, food-driven wines with complete control from vineyard to bottle.
With 320 acres under vine in the Adelaide Hills, Amadio offers rare depth across both classic Australian and Italian varietals. Our portfolio spans benchmark styles such as Shiraz, Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Sauvignon Blanc, alongside one of Australia’s most comprehensive and consistent collections of Italian grapes — including Pecorino, Arneis, Fiano, Sangiovese, Barbera, Dolcetto, Montepulciano, Aglianico, Sagrantino, Nebbiolo and Nero d’Avola.
This diversity allows buyers to construct a cohesive, versatile list from a single estate — covering by-the-glass pours, core program listings and distinctive premium placements that offer genuine points of difference.
The Kersbrook Vineyard is accredited under Sustainable Winegrowing Australia, supporting long-term vineyard health, environmental stewardship and production consistency — increasingly critical for UK buyers and consumers alike.
