Wine exporter adds Adelaide Hills vineyard to stable

One of the Adelaide Hills' oldest vineyards, Blackford Stables, has sold for $1.5 million after being on the market for more than a year-and-a-half. The 46.12-hectare property near Charleston was snapped up by an unnamed local industry participant with an export business targeting the Chinese market. It includes a residence, heritage-listed stables and 14 hectares of vineyards planted to sauvignon blanc, chardonnay, pinot gris, sangiovese and pinot noir.
