Mother Vine Wine List
About Mother Vine
Venture into Adelaide’s modish East End after twilight and you will be lured down Vardon Lane, where festoon lamps light the way to some of the city’s best bars after dark. Mother Vine is a reference point for locals, a place with a strong sense of provenance, where South Australia meets France over Champagne, aromatic whites, Chardonnays, rosés and Pinot Noir.
With multiple wine list awards under its belt (including the 2024 Star Wine List ‘Best Medium-Sized List’), you’re guaranteed a good night out.
Against an exposed-brick garagiste-style backdrop you’ll be welcomed by enthusiastic staff, lulled by the soft-beat lounge music and wowed by the Burgundy – white and red – with mid to high-end offerings from the likes of Dujac and Leflaive, amongst others.
Aspirational though these may be, come instead for the regional focus on South Australian winemaking, including the option of a ‘South Australian flight’ to discover regional flavours and styles ranging from bold reds to refreshing whites. Or select from a solid and unintimidating list of cleverly organised options by style, primarily representing Australia, France, Italy and the United States. Then snack from a range of small plates and cheeses that are seasonal, delicious and uncomplicated.

This wine list highlights both national and international wines from exciting producers and manages to make the selection very diverse. The balance between different producer styles is successful and the offering is delightful throughout all pages, said jury member Heidi Mäkinen MW about the gold in Best Medium-sized List in 2024.
