The first vines were planted on the Hoffmann Vineyard in the 1880’s and sold to the Seppelt family at Seppeltsfield. Today the oldest surviving vines on the property exist on the Dallwitz Block, a 20-hectare block considered to be the jewel in the crown. Adrian’s grandfather, Gordon, purchased this block in 1954, and it came with treasured old Shiraz vines, planted between 1888 to 1912.
The Hoffmann family are specialists in growing premium Shiraz with 75 percent of their vineyard planted to the variety. During the 1990’s, it became apparent that premium Shiraz was in high demand from Ebenezer, and with their finger on the pulse, the Hoffmann family started to add to their existing vineyard with new plantings.,
