About
Hutton Vale Farm is one of the Barossa's most storied family estates — a property with roots stretching back to 1843 when patriarch John Howard Angas arrived in South Australia. Today seventh-generation siblings Cait and Stuart Angas farm 27 hectares in the Eden Valley, growing Shiraz, Cabernet Sauvignon and Riesling under a philosophy of sustainable, low-intervention viticulture. Production is deliberately small — around 1,500 dozen bottles — with the wines made in consultation with winemaker Dan Standish. Cellar door tastings are by private appointment only, making a visit here a genuinely special experience.

What grape varieties does Hutton Vale Farm grow?
The estate grows Shiraz, Cabernet Sauvignon and Riesling across 27 hectares in the Eden Valley, within the broader Barossa region of South Australia. The Shiraz block was planted in the 1960s with cuttings from the nearby Mount Edelstone vineyard; Riesling is planted on a gentle Eden Valley slope.
