The Barossa Valley, located about an hour northeast of Adelaide in South Australia, is one of the country’s most celebrated and historic wine regions. Famed for its bold, full-bodied Shiraz, the Barossa is also home to some of the world’s oldest continuously producing grapevines, dating back to the 1840s. The landscape is a patchwork of rolling vineyards, charming villages, and heritage stone buildings that reflect the region’s strong German settler roots.
Beyond wine, the Barossa offers rich culinary experiences, with local artisans crafting everything from traditional smallgoods to fine cheeses and preserves. With its deep winemaking legacy, warm hospitality, and scenic beauty, the Barossa Valley remains a quintessential destination for lovers of wine, food, and culture.

This fine aged tawny is made from the Barossa’s traditional tawny varieties - mostly grenache, with some mataro and shiraz - and has been blended to an average age of six years. Winemaker Notes The wine is a lovely golden tawny colour with definite red tinges.The spicy fruit flavours are a legacy of the high proportion of grenache and add a lifted freshness to the more complex aged characters in the background. The palate is smooth and rich, with the mid-palate sweetness balanced by an elegant drying finish.
