The Hahn Family is in many ways synonymous with the Barossa Valley as they have farmed the area for over 5 generations from when the 'first' Hahn arrived in 1846 and over the years they have grown to now own nearly 50ha of vines and a thorough understanding of how to make wine!
This wine is one of the 'finds' of late 2010 with a wine that is total Barossa Valley power! It is a cracking Shiraz from Darren Zimmerman's vineyard on the Roennfeldt Road in Marananga from vines planted by Darren's father in 1936. This is pure unadulterated Barossa power at the price the wine has quite rightly caused immense interest to all - ths is Barossa taste at its very best!
The vines include 80 year old Bush Vine Grenache, Viognier, Pinot Gris, Tempranillo, Graciano, Fiano, and Cabernet Franc along with the traditional Clare Valley varieties of Shiraz, Riesling, and Cabernet Sauvignon.
John and Rosalind Russell have established their vineyards very quickly from when John first came to the Valley to establish the Barossa Music Festival in 1990.
Matt and Trish Wenk established Smidge Wines in 2004 as a micro-producer specialising in small volume super premium Australian Wine ; Smidge had been a vision of Matt's since his days at Roseworthy and since then, this vision has turned to reality as he has been quietly and meticulously developing wines of his own.
Small Gully was founded in 1999 by vignerons Robert Bader , Darren Zimmerman and wine maker Stephen Black . In 2002 a winery was built at Darren’s property situated in a “ small gully “ on Roennfeldt Road Greenock.
Parri Estate has been establishing exports in a number of markets since 1998.The vineyard is just north of Victor Harbor on Sneyd Road Mount Compass and is perfectly suited to the production of many varieties of white wine as well as Pinot Noir and big black spicy Shiraz as it is grown on limestone soil.
Our great friend and one of the nicest Men that you could possibly meet , Clark Ingham , has finally succumbed to the disease that he fought with typical humour right to the very end.
Our thoughts are with his Family at this time
