Totino Wines began in 1998 when Don Totino purchased 25 acres in the Adelaide hills. Over the past three decades, Totino has grown to include over 100 acres of land and 80 acres of vineyards and has succeeded in consistently producing a range of complex and elegant wines including Shiraz, Cabernet Sauvignon, Sangiovese, Pinot Grigio, Sauvignon Blanc and Chardonnay.

Totino Wines represent wines with a European flair. Italian born owner, Don Totino migrated to Australia in 1968, at the age of 18. His love of Italian culture and in particularly food and wine has plans in the near future to plant Italian variety’s into Australian soil. Mixing the two cultures to give the perfect product.

The vineyard is situated in Paracombe South Australia, Northwest of the Mount Lofty Ranges, the vineyard is situated at an altitude of 420 metres above sea level. The evenings are cool during the growing seasons, maintaining acid levels promoting crisp fresh white wines and further enhancing elegant tannins and slow ripening in our super premium red varietals. The Vines are canopy managed and all are bi-laterally trained. Vertical shoot positioning husbandry adopted. Any supplementary irrigation required is applied through the managed dams and streams onsite which is all the natural rain that has runoff during the winter months. We tend our vineyards by hand, which is the only way to ensure optimum quality in varied terrain. This approach to picking and pruning is evident in all Totino Wines.

The Climate at Totino Wines is well suited to both red and white varieties, the Vineyard is feed using Organic Manures and watered using the rainwater that the environment enriches the landscape with during winter, the gentle slopes provide a perfect habitat for ducks, kangaroos, koalas, turtles and other small marsupials.
