      Wine FAQs

      Why buy Barossa wine?

      Barossa is one of the best-known wine regions in South Australia. Known for its winemaking tradition and innovative practices, the region boasts some of the oldest vines in the world.

      The wines from Barossa are recognised for their intensity, richness and diversity. The region is most famous for its Shiraz (also known as Syrah), which is considered among the best in the world. Barossa Shiraz is typically full-bodied, powerful and packed with dark fruit flavours, often with a distinctive spiciness.

      In addition to Shiraz, winemakers in Barossa also make high-quality Cabernet Sauvignon, Grenache and Mataro (Mourvèdre), often used in GSM (Grenache-Shiraz-Mataro) blends celebrated for their complexity and depth.

      On the white wine front, Barossa is known for its Chardonnay – with its Eden Valley sub-region particularly renowned for its dry, aromatic and crisp Riesling.

      Where is Barossa?

      Barossa is located in South Australia – a state in the southern central part of Australia, around 35 miles northeast of the state capital Adelaide. Known for its rolling hills, fertile valleys and picturesque landscapes, the Barossa region is one of Australia’s most important and best-known wine regions.

      Barossa has a Mediterranean-type climate with hot, dry summers and cool, wet winters, which are ideal for grape growing. The region receives plenty of sunshine during the growing season, allowing the grapes to fully ripen.

      Barossa’s topography means it is the perfect home to a wide range of grape varieties. While best known for its Shiraz, Barossa also produces excellent Cabernet Sauvignon, Grenache and white varietals such as Chardonnay and Riesling. A diverse range of soils in the region, from sandy and clay loams to red clay soils, each provides unique benefits to the grape vines. The varying altitudes, from valley floors to hillside slopes, further contribute to the range of wine styles produced here.

      The Barossa region comprises two main wine regions – the Barossa Valley and Eden Valley – each recognised for different styles of wine. Barossa Valley is famed for robust and flavourful red wines, while Eden Valley, due to its elevated location, produces crisp and refined white wines.

      What is Barossa’s wine history?

      Barossa is one of South Australia’s oldest and most prestigious wine regions – home to some of the oldest continually producing vines in the world.

      English and German immigrants first settled in the Barossa Valley during the 1840s. They brought traditional winemaking techniques and a variety of vine cuttings, including Shiraz, which later became the region’s most famous grape.

      In the 1850s, the region’s first commercial winery was established, making Barossa Valley a central hub for the growing Australian wine industry. Throughout the 20th century, the region’s focus was on fortified wines. However, the trend shifted as wine consumer preferences changed, and by the 1980s, the focus had shifted towards producing high-quality table wine from old-vine Shiraz.

      Today, Barossa Valley is a hub of premium winemaking, famous globally for its creative, innovative approach to making high-quality, expressive wines.

      In Eden Valley, the first vines were planted in 1847, but it was in the 1860s, with the establishment of the town of Eden Valley, that the region established itself as a producer of high-quality white wines, particularly Riesling.

      What are Barossa’s main grape varieties?

      Barossa Valley is home to a number of red and white grape varieties. Many are used to produce stunning single-varietal wines, but others play an important part in creating the region’s noteworthy blends:

      What are the best-known Barossa red wines?

      Barossa is known for producing rich, robust red wines, particularly Shiraz and Cabernet Sauvignon.

      Barossa Valley Shiraz wines are full-bodied, dense and rich, packed with jammy black fruit flavours, hints of dark chocolate and vanilla and a signature crack of black pepper. These wines are fruit-forward and complex, with grippy tannins and high alcohol levels, thanks to all the time the grapes spend in the South Australian sun.

      Eden Valley Shiraz wines are more elegant and refined compared to the Barossa Valley style. Rather than intense dark fruit flavours and a smooth body, these Shiraz wines are tart, with a vibrant high acidity and more delicate fruit flavours.

      Barossa Cabernet Sauvignon is as equally rich and full-bodied as Barossa Valley Shiraz but has a drier, “warmer” style, with flavours of blackcurrant, black cherry, baking spices and cedar. These wines have powerful tannins and plenty of depth.

      Another popular red wine from the region is Grenache, although this is more commonly used in red blends to add body and fruitiness. GSM blends, made from a combination of Grenache, Shiraz and Mourvèdre (known as Mataro in Australia), are a staple of the Barossa wine scene – versatile, rich and delicious.

      What are the best-known Barossa white wines?

      Barossa’s stand-out white wines are Chardonnay and Riesling.

      Unlike lighter, brighter styles that can be found in France and California, Barossa Chardonnay wines are full-bodied and luxurious. These white wines are rich and packed with flavours of yellow apple, pear, lemon and pineapple – a result of the vines ripening during long days in the sun. Barossa Chardonnay wines are commonly aged in oak, creating smoother white wines with a creamy texture and delicious hints of butter, vanilla, baking spices and toasted brioche.

      Eden Valley Riesling is a physical reminder of Barossa’s German roots. Dry in style, these wines are refreshingly acidic and aromatic, and a pale straw yellow in colour with a tinge of green. Typical flavours and aromas include apricot, nectarine, citrus, apple, pear, honey, ginger, beeswax, white blossom and petrol.

      What food pairs with Barossa wine?

      A robust Barossa red pairs deliciously with an Aussie food staple – barbecue. If you’ve selected a full-bodied Shiraz, serve it alongside lamb kebabs, smoked sausage, tender pork shoulder and marinated vegetables straight from the grill.

      A Barossa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon, with its grippy tannins and dark fruit flavours, is better paired with juicy beef burgers, smoked ribs and medium-rare ribeye steaks. But if you’re not a fan of barbecue, you could also pair these wines with stuffed mushrooms or bell peppers and rich, hearty tomato-based pasta dishes.

      A full-bodied, oaked Barossa Chardonnay makes an excellent pairing with roast chicken or turkey, salmon in cream sauces, risotto, cream-based pasta dishes and flaky white fish. If you’ve selected a less-common unoaked style, opt for delicate shellfish, lighter chicken-based dishes and fresh salads made from dark greens, topped with Gouda or mild blue cheese.

      With their intense aromas and racy acidity, a dry Barossa Riesling is best paired with spicy Asian dishes, specifically those from India or Thailand. When served chilled, a glass of Riesling can cool the flames on your tongue and get you ready for the next bite. Spiced duck leg, Sichuan pepper chicken and Madras curry are all delicious options.
