The Vineyards Range:Barossa Valley - South Australia The Barossa Valley is one of Australia's oldest and most prestigeous wine regions. The region is located in South Australia, 56 km northeast of the city of Adelaide were our winemaker grew up. Each year our winemaker selects specific parcels of premium fruit from the best vineyards of the Barossa with a focus on Rhone varieties (Shiraz and Cabernet) that are so ideally suited to the soil and climate of the area. The fruit only qualifies for inclusion if he is inspired by the generous and rich fruit flavours that will result in the creation of a wine with a characteristic Australian Style.

Outback Release Range:
Australia - South East Australia
Rather than being a wine region in the standard sense, it's officially classified as a viticultural 'super zone'.
SEA covers the entire south-eastern third of Australia, a vast area whose western boundary measures some 1250 miles (2000 km) and reaches from the Pacific coast in Queensland to the Indian Ocean coast in South Australia. Between these two oceans the Australian continent offers up dry riverbeds, rainforest, mountain ranges, endless scrubland, red deserts and eventually the cooler wine-growing valleys of the south coast. The south-eastern halves of both Queensland and South Australia are covered by the title, as well as New South Wales, Victoria and Tasmania in their entirety.
