Living Roots, founded in 2016 by Seb and Colleen Hardy, connects the Finger Lakes region of New York and the Adelaide Hills of South Australia. Drawing on six generations of Hardy family winemaking, Living Roots combines tradition with a modern approach to create wines that reflect the unique terroirs of each region. By sourcing grapes from family vineyards and other growers, the winery produces a diverse range of styles with minimal intervention, focusing on varietal and regional expression.
In the Adelaide Hills, Living Roots produces medium-bodied reds, whites, and sparkling wines that highlight the region’s distinct climate and soils. Seb Hardy applies his experience from Australia and Europe to craft wines that showcase the essence of the grape varieties and the terroir. This commitment to minimal input winemaking ensures each bottle reflects the true character of its origin.
