HAND TENDED VINES

At Totino Estate Wines, every bottle tells the story of dedication, family, and nature’s purest elements.

The heart of our estate lies in the Paracombe property, nestled in the pristine Adelaide Hills, where the land remains untouched, and the air is fresh, unspoiled by pollution.

Here, the Totino family works tirelessly to bring you wines that reflect the beauty of their surroundings and the care they put into every vine.

Don Totino, the founder and owner, alongside his family, personally tends to the vineyards, ensuring each vine is nurtured with love and attention.

The family’s involvement in the process is mostly hands-on—from pruning the vines to hand-picking the grapes at just the right moment.

It’s a labour of love, where every step is taken with care, understanding that great wine starts with great grapes.

The Adelaide Hills, known for its natural beauty and minimal human interference, provides the ideal environment for grape growing.

With its rolling hills, cool climate, and rich soils, the region is perfect for cultivating wines that are pure and true to their roots.

The Totino Estate’s commitment to sustainability and environmental responsibility ensures that this land, which has been in the family for nearly four decades, will remain as it is for future generations.

In this serene and untouched corner of the world, the climate embraces the vines, and the surrounding landscape offers a sense of freedom and peace.

It’s in this environment that Totino Estate Wines flourishes, creating wines that carry the essence of the Adelaide Hills, lovingly crafted by those who call it home.
