After a last minute reprieve from the bulldozers, the 400 Shiraz vines planted by Carl August Otto Schiller in 1881 are something to be [...]

However, two heat spells hurried things along and we picked a couple parcels of Shiraz in mid-February. And then it rained. The heatwave ended with [...]
We’ve just come through some fairly daunting times here in the Barossa. Across four days straight the temperature topped 40 degrees and we witnessed fires threaten the Barossa Ranges and Eden Valley region. We are thankful that no lives were lost. Our hearts go out to people who have seen their property damaged. We are grateful to the Country Fire Service volunteers (from far and [...]
Merry Christmas – Happy Holidays We’ve pinched this year’s ‘season greeting’ from our favourite warehouse manager. Thanks to Adam Fiegert for this holiday inspiration… It’s been a great year, however going forward there needs to be some frivolity with friends and family. A line in the ocean; A time when an icy-cold beer is acceptable before midday; The hangover cure is a dive into the [...]

Cellar to 2040. James Halliday’s Top [...]
