Barossa Valley Estate was established in 1985 by a group of independent growers who saw an opportunity to add value to their harvest. The operation was initialized as a co-operative, with the objective of making and marketing premium bottled wine. Today, Barossa Valley Estate really does offer the pick of the Barossa, compiled from fruit grown throughout the valley by over eighty loyal growers. This breadth of selection gives Barossa Valley Estate a unique advantage, in that the winery can fashion a selection of wines that are pure Barossa. Shiraz grapes are traditionally fermented on skins before ageing in a selection of French and American oak barrels for up to a year. Alcohol 14.5%
