Old Barossa vignerons referred to their vineyards as gardens. The Three Gardens is a contemporary blend of Viognier, Marsanne and Roussanne – varieties which, while new to the Barossa, show great promise. The best characteristics of each variety have been combined to create a truly harmonious wine.

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.

Pure Eden is a single site wine, made from an Eden Valley vineyard planted by Charles Angas in the 1890s. Later owned by the Shiltons 1911 -1926; Meakins 1926-1929; Roeslers 1929-1961; Andretzkes 1961-2011 and now the Lindner family. This wine is a reward for these guardians’ efforts for more than one hundred years.

In 1842 a 32-year-old Blacksmith, Christian Auricht, arrived from Prussia with his wife and four children. He settled in the new village of Langmeil and established a forge in what was to become a thriving trading post. His original smithy remains to this day and is a feature of the winery’s heritage setting.

Many people choose this vibrant style of wine for their drinking pleasure during the warmer summer months. Bella Rouge, Italian for “beautiful” and French for “red” respectively, takes its inspiration from these two traditional wine cultures, to make a refreshing rosé wine perfect for al fresco dining with family and friends.
