Wines by KT, SA  20 Main North Road, Auburn, 5451
Welcome to Wines by KT. I've been living and making wine in the Clare Valley district since 1998 and after eight years of managing historic Leasingham Wines I decided to establish my very own owned and operated wine business in 2006. The focus of Wines by KT is creating individual vineyard wines from the sustainably cared for Peglidis and Churinga vineyards, in Watervale, South Australia. It was these vineyards that I selected as the most exciting from my winemaking experience at Leasingham - now providing the heart of all my single vineyard wines - Riesling, Shiraz, Cabernet Sauvignon and Tempranillo. Specialising in my first-love, Riesling, and inspired by lovingly grown grapes from a beautiful part of the world, I'm working to create wines that express spirit of place and enjoyment.
