2024 Geologist Grenache Shiraz Mataro
Johann Menge was South Australia’s first Geologist and was struck by Barossa’s potential for viticulture. Menge wrote to George Fife Angas, describing the region as ‘the cream, the whole cream and nothing but the cream’. His description convinced Pastor Kavel to make Barossa his flock’s new home.

A rich and inviting aroma of dark cherry, plum and sweet spice mingle with hints of mocca and savoury notes, adding complexity.

"These are wines of great historical significance, not to mention quality, and should occupy a lofty place in the pantheon of Australian wine."
