Adelaide Hills - Barossa Valley - Langhorne Creek

Barossa Valley
The Barossa remains one of Australia's most famous wine growing regions and is situated approximately 80kms, or an hour north of Adelaide.

With more than 150 years of grape growing and winemaking tradition, the Barossa's heritage was originally based on making fortified wines. It wasn't until the 1950's when winemakers began creating greater volumes of table wines that have now become the trademark of the region.

The Barossa Valley, with its hot Mediterranean climate, and annual rainfall of only 500mm is re-nowned for its big reds packed full of spice, tannin, rich fruit and depth.

Although these traits are most frequently associated with the Barossa Shiraz, it is for these characteristics we have also selected the Barossa as the second region in our regional Zinfandel Series.

Vintage typically begins sometime in February, and continues through to late April or even early May.
