What links South Australia, Daniel Radcliffe & Cliff Richard?

Renowned as a brilliant blend, perhaps it is not surprising to hear that South Australia is a destination which links Daniel Radcliffe and Cliff Richard. South Australia’s most famous icon, Kangaroo Island, regarded as Australia’s Galapagos as well as being the country’s third largest island, was the location of the film “December Boys”, which is Daniel “Harry Potter” Radcliffe’s first movie role outside of the Potter films.

Released in the UK mid September, December Boys shows off Kangaroo Island’s stunning natural scenery whilst telling the story of four orphan teenage boys and their summer beachside holiday.

But how does Cliff Richard fit into the picture? He shares winemaker Liz Heidenreich with Sevenhill Cellars in the Clare Valley, a world class wine producing region which has been likened to Tuscany for its rural scenery and relaxed atmosphere. Liz, an award-winning winemaker and native of South Australia, has spent the last three years in Portugal producing Vintage for Sir Cliff Richard’s wine label.

Originally an intensive care nurse, Liz went on to receive a postgrad diploma in wine-making in 2003 and has worked for a number of wineries. Impressively, she began winning awards just three years after graduation with her Sevenhill cabernet and Sevenhill shiraz, collecting gold and silver at the Brisbane Wine Show in July 2007 and last month (September) carried off three golds in Perth.
