Barossa Valley- where a heritage lives on and the wines benefit from more than 180 years of wine making history.
Barossa is home to some of the oldest continuously producing vineyards in the world. Some examples:
- Cirillo Estate, 1850 Grenache, Barossa Valley
- Hewitson, Old Garden Mourvèdre, Koch Family Pilgrim Vineyard, Barossa, 1853
- Langmeil, The Freedom 1843 Shiraz, Barossa Valley
- Chateau Tanunda, 150 Year Old Vine Semillon, Barossa Valley
The area’s great tradition was a major attraction when we set up Glug over 20 years ago. And how pleased we are to have done so. Other regions have their passing moments of fashion but what the German settlers established back in the 1840s lives on.
The history of how these refugees from religious intolerance laid the foundations of the Australian wine industry deserves to live on. And this Michael Charlton 4 Corners program from 1962 does just that.
