Protero

Protero is an Adelaide Hills estate with a passion for Italian varieties, best known for pioneering serious Nebbiolo in the cool hills above Adelaide. It is part of a new wave proving Australia can craft convincing alternatives to the classics. The elevated Adelaide Hills vineyards enjoy cool nights and a long growing season, ideal for retaining the freshness, perfume and structure that Nebbiolo and aromatic whites demand. Careful farming and thoughtful winemaking let the fruit lead. The range centres on the flagship CAPO Nebbiolo, fragrant and finely structured, alongside a lifted, aromatic Adelaide Hills white blend built around Gewurztraminer and Riesling. Distinctive, fresh and quietly ambitious, Protero offers a compelling Australian take on the great grapes of northern Italy.
