An assemblage of parcels off a number of Bethany estate blocks, vinified alongside superior picks from Lyndoch and Vine Vale, all coalescing into the magical alchemy between Grenache, Shiraz and Mourvedre. Batches are separately whole berry fermented to a variety of skin contact schedules, tannin extractions and daily pumpovers. Ferments are rack and returned before pressing into fine oak barrels for a judicious term of maturation. Olives and bay leaf, red currants, pencil shave and sage, before a gentle, savoury flavoured palate, so eloquently varietal yet beguilingly seamless.

More About Bethany Wines
Johann Gottlob Schrapel and his family arrived in South Australia from Silesia on the ship George Washington in 1844, just eight years after the colony was settled
Like many of their fellow Germanic migrants they made their way by ox cart to Bethany, the Barossa Valley’s first settlement, where they established a home and cleared the land to grow crops and graze animals. The Schrapels planted their first vineyard in 1852 from cuttings carefully nursed from Europe. A wine cellar was also built, but despite Johann’s reputation as an early colonial winemaker, the family concentrated on grape growing rather than winemaking for the next four generations. More than a century later in 1981, Johann’s fifth generation descendants, brothers Geoff and Robert Schrapel, established Bethany Wines in a quarry, where the pioneers had hewn stone for their homes, high in the Barossa Ranges overlooking the family’s vineyards and the historic village of Bethany.
