Esilio Wines

South Australia

Esilio is the Latin term for exiled.

This name perfectly reflects Esilio's GI, which is nestled between two illustrious wine making neighbours Barossa Valley and Adelaide Hills. A mere 10 km from one and 7km from the other, Esilio enjoys the best of both regions, warmer days and cooler nights.

This allows for the perfect grape-growing environment. The intense heat ripens the grapes at a consistent rate during the day, while the cool sea breeze allows them to rest overnight. The 100-acre estate is the perfect location for low yielding (2 tonnes an acre), estate grown wine from grape to bottle. The entire winemaking process is overseen by Winemaker Harry Mantzarapis.

In a region renowned for its illustrious winemaking neighbours, Esilio boldly declares,

'We are already elsewhere.'

Esilio has forged an identity emerging from the shadows of giants.

We thrive on the spirit of audacity and courage, striving to craft wines that are not just exceptional but immensely enjoyable.
