Best Wines from the Barossa Valley
The Barossa Valley is the spiritual home of Australian Shiraz, with some of the oldest continuously producing vines on earth. Here are our hand-picked favourites from this iconic South Australian region.
The home of Australian Shiraz
Warm days and old vines give the Barossa its signature: deep, ripe, full-bodied red wine. Many vineyards date back well over a century, a rarity anywhere in the world.
What to expect in the glass
Barossa Shiraz is rich and dark-fruited, with spice and velvety tannins. Grenache is brighter and more red-fruited, and the region's GSM blends balance power with drinkability.
How we choose
Every wine here is scored from our own tasting notes on a single consistent palate. We favour Barossa reds that pair their power with freshness and balance.
