The Heart of Barossa Valley
Nestled in the esteemed Barossa Valley, our vineyards are renowned for producing some of the finest Shiraz in the world. This lush, fertile region, with its temperate climate and ancient soils, provides the ideal conditions for cultivating grapes that yield rich, full-bodied wines with layers of complexity. Our Shiraz, in particular, boasts deep berry flavors, tantalizing spice notes, and a velvety texture that is synonymous with Barossa Valley's winemaking heritage.
Crafting the Barossa Valley Shiraz Sangria
Our Barossa Valley Shiraz Sangria pays homage to the traditional Spanish libation, yet brings its own unique flair. By carefully blending our signature Shiraz with an assortment of fresh, local fruits and a hint of natural sweetness, we have crafted a refreshing beverage that complements our core wine offerings. The result is a tipple that maintains the depth and character of a Shiraz while offering a lighter, more playful profile that's perfect for all occasions.

This delightful sangria bursts with vibrant flavours. Upon the first sip, you're greeted by succulent blackberries and cherries, which give way to zesty citrus undertones and a hint of aromatic spices. The finish is crisp and smooth, leaving a refreshing aftertaste that invites another sip. It's an ideal accompaniment to warm summer days as well as cozy gatherings, adding an element of vivacity and enjoyment.
