AboutBarossa Valley Estate
Barossa Valley Estate began in 1984, when local growers formed a cooperative to process their fruit amid falling grape prices. Later that year the Valley Growers and Consolidated co-operatives combined under the Barossa Valley Estate name.
The winery focuses on red wines: Shiraz, Cabernet Sauvignon, Grenache-Shiraz-Mourvèdre and Malbec. Its cellar door sits in Marananga, overlooking the valley, with perennial gardens conceived by Australian landscape designer Paul Bangay.

Black fruit, spice, vanilla, plum and dark berry appear with approachable tannins. Fermentation takes place at controlled temperatures for up to seven days; malolactic fermentation and twelve months in French oak are also part of production. Vineyard blocks are harvested and vinified separately. The vineyards lie on ancient red-clay loams in Barossa Valley’s warm, dry climate.
