Barossa snapshot

Originally established by the British, the Barossa is one of te most historic wine producing regions in Australia. There is a strong German influence which came from Lutheran emigrants from Prussia. German was in fact the preferred language until the early 1900s. There are now 6th generation grape-growing families and Barossa is home to Australia’s largest collection of old vines with many blocks of still productive vines dating back to the 1860s.

  • Langmeil’s Freedom vineyard (planted in 1843) is likely the oldest Shiraz vineyard in the world.
  • Shiraz is Barossa’s star performer but Grenache, Mourvedre and Semillon all produce exciting wines.
