Larry Jacobs and Marc Dobson, both originally from South Africa, purchased Hahndorf Hill Winery in 2002. Larry gave up a career in intensive-care medicine in 1988 when he bought an abandoned property in Stellenbosch, and established the near-iconic Mulderbosch Wines. When Mulderbosch was purchased at the end of 1996, the pair migrated to Australia and eventually found their way to Hahndorf Hill. In 2006, their investment in the winery and cellar door was rewarded by induction into the South Australian Great Tourism Hall of Fame, having won the award for Best Tourism Winery for three consecutive years. In 2007 they began the process of converting the vineyard to biodynamic status, and they were one of the first movers in implementing a carbon offset program. They have successfully imported three clones of gruner veltliner from Austria, and their first vintage was made in 2010. In the winter of that year, they successfully propagated several thousand cuttings, and handed these over to five other Adelaide Hills producers via the Adelaide Hills Vine Improvement Association. Exports to the UK, Singapore and China.
