Owners Larry Jacobs and Marc Dobson acquired the Hahndorf Hill property in 2002[1] and subsequently made considerable changes to the vineyard plantings, including the promotion and development of Austrian grape varieties such as Grüner Veltliner, Blaufränkisch and Zweigelt. A fourth Austrian variety, St. Laurent, was planted at the Hahndorf Hill vineyard in 2015.[2]

After importing three different clones of Grüner Veltliner from Austria into Australia in 2006, and a further three clones/clonal selections in 2009,[3][4] Hahndorf Hill Winery became the first producer of Grüner Veltliner in South Australia in 2010.[5] It is currently Australia's only producer of Blaufränkisch.[6] The winery has produced a Zweigelt rosé since 2012.

Other grape varieties grown at Hahndorf Hill include Trollinger,[7] Sauvignon Blanc and Shiraz.
