Behind the well known brands and labels there are
dozens of tiny Barossa producers making just a few
barrels of handmade Shiraz. One of the BarossaÂ’s most
historic wineries, Château Tanunda, originally built by
businessmen for the growers of the Barossa in 1890,
now home to the Barossa Small Winemakers Centre,
will appropriately offer a chance for you to sample these
wines. 25 uniquely Barossan Shiraz and Shiraz blends
will be available to taste and youÂ’ll also get the chance
to meet the small winemakers. Get face to face with
producers who represent the unique community, history
and flavours of Barossa Shiraz.
