Pertaringa was established in 1980 by leading viticulturists Geoff Hardy and Ian Leask. Since then, the Pertaringa vineyards in the foothills behind McLaren Vale have continued to produce some of the region’s finest wines. In 2011, Geoff purchased the remaining share of the Pertaringa wine business from the Leask family and became the sole custodian of the brand.

The name Pertaringa means ‘belonging to the hills’ and originates from the local Kaurna indigenous language.

In 1986, Geoff Hardy found the ideal site for the production of outstanding cool climate grapes in the Adelaide Hills. The vineyard became known as the K1 by Geoff Hardy vineyard as this unique site was the first commercial planting of vines in the Kuitpo region.

Today, the K1 wines are considered to be some of Australia’s finest premium, single estate wines.

Hand Crafted by Geoff Hardy was established by Geoff in 2004 and offers one of the broadest and most exciting ranges of alternative and emerging varieties in Australia. 

The Hand Crafted wines are made from parcels of hand-selected, premium fruit sourced from sustainably managed vineyards around South Australia.

The GMH brand name reflects Geoff's initials and was originally made for the Canadian export market. Today, the wines are exported to several countries and also sold domestically. 

The GMH wines might be expressions of a single vineyard or regional blends, and are all made from premium fruit from sustainably managed vineyards around South Australia.
