Angas Plains Wines
Angas Plains Estate Wines is a 5 star family winery in the heart of the Langhorne Creek wine region,
Langhorne Creek is a notable wine region in South Australia, known for producing high-quality red and white wines. It is located on the fertile plains of the Bremer River, approximately 70 kilometers southeast of Adelaide. Covering about 5,600 hectares (13,840 acres) of vineyards, it is one of Australia’s oldest and most significant wine regions.
The region carries a proud history in viticulture, dating back as early as the mid-19th century when the first vines were planted. The climate of Langhorne Creek is maritime, influenced by the Southern Ocean which helps to regulate summer heat and provides ideal conditions for the slow ripening of grapes – a factor that significantly contributes to the unique characteristics of the wine produced in this region.
Langhorne Creek is best known for its Cabernet Sauvignon, producing deeply colored, richly flavored wines that have gained international recognition. In addition to Cabernet Sauvignon, the region also produces other varietals like Shiraz, Malbec, and limited plantings of white wine grape varieties such as Semillon and Verdelho.
The region has a very small population, making it a tranquil, rural area perfect for viticulture. Apart from just wineries, Langhorne Creek also offers a variety of additional attractions such as local produce markets, historical sites, and countryside views, making it an attractive place for wine lovers and tourists alike.
