Ten Miles East Winery

Ten Miles East is an artisanal winery and cellar door located a short 20 minute drive from the Adelaide CBD in Norton Summit. Owners James and Taiita Champniss share their time between Adelaide and the United Kingdom, and focus on growing small quantities of exceptional quality grapes on their nine acre estate. They believe less is more, and concentrate on growing grape varieties that are suited to their estate's particular microclimate and soil, producing small-batch, hand-made wines of exceptional quality. Their wines are made gently, without rushing - using wild yeast ferments and steering away from mountains of additives. They then allow their wines to collect themselves with time on lees and, when suitable, extended skin contact. The result is a diverse range of six incredibly fine wines of very limited quantity and unique character. The cellar door is open weekends throughout the year. Walk-ins are welcome and bookings are available through the Ten Miles East website. Ten Miles East wines are grown, made and sold at the vineyard - so come and visit, let Chris run you through a structured tasting or simply enjoy a glass of wine in their beautiful gardens, where there is plenty of local wildlife to keep you company.
