Wine has been a way of life in Barossa since 1842. Fast forward to today, and Barossa is home to more than 550 grape-growing families, many with the sixth generation still working the same plot of land, supplying quality grapes to more than 170 wine companies.
Today’s Barossa wine landscape is one of exciting innovation and exploration. Multi-generational farmers work alongside new arrivals, making bold new moves and experimenting all while respecting our regional traditions.
Home to the world’s oldest, continuously producing Shiraz, Grenache, Mataro, Cabernet Sauvignon and Semillon vines, environmental protection and sustainability are a key focus in both viticultural and winemaking practices.
The best Barossan wines sit comfortably alongside the great wines of the world. Barossa Shiraz and Eden Valley Riesling have led the way as regional heroes, with Cabernet Sauvignon, Mataro, Grenache, Semillon and Fortifieds wines all contributing to Barossa’s standing as one of the world’s great wine regions.
Barossa includes both the Barossa Valley and Eden Valleys, making it one of the only wine regions in Australia to have neighbouring warm and cool climate growing conditions. With such a diversity of growing conditions and soil types across both valleys and vineyards that have been tended by hand for many years, you are bound to find a wine to call your own.
