Hastwell & Lightfoot

Hastwell & Lightfoot (H&L) is one of McLaren Vale’s most exciting and innovative winegrowers. Since planting their 16 hectares of vines in the deep sands of McLaren Vale’s Foggo Road in 1988, they have continued to push their winegrowing frontiers. The winery is now under the guidance of second generation family members James Hastwell – Winemaker and his cousin Kishan Sidhu – General Manager. Their youthful exuberance is evident in the innovation and development of H&L’s wines through new varieties, new livery, and a new passion to showcase their wines.
