Freya was the foremost goddess of Germanic lands where the Riesling grape originated.  This wine honours early German settlers who first sdettled the Barossa!

The idea of blending Shiraz from the Eastern and Western extremities of the Barossa make perfectly good sense. The ripe plum, blackberry and white chocolate flavours of the Western Barossa Valley integrate perfectly with the perfumed red fruits, liquorice and spice of the Eastern Eden Valley, coming together to produce a delicious, rich, flavoursome and ultimately beautifully balanced wine.

Three new release wines from Schwarz Wine Co from the 2017 Vintage.  

Whilst Jason Schwarz is a 5th generation Barossan, he is the first to turn his hand to winemaking. His parents were grape growers, and today the heart and soul of Schwarz Company Wines are the family’s Thiele Road and Nitschke Block vineyards that produce exceptional single vineyard expressions of Barossa red wine.

The KENNEDY is a classic blend of old vine Barossa Valley Grenache, Shiraz and Mourvedre varieties. Named as a tribute to the legendary Barossa Vigneron’s who pioneered the planting of the old treasured vineyards, which the Barossa enjoys today.

The Grenache fruit is the ‘soul’ of this blend and is from an exceptionally low yielding 50+ year-old Light Pass Vineyard. Originally planted by the Kennedy Family, with ownership eventually being passed onto the charismatic Leo ‘Joe’ KENNEDY who nurtured the vines for many years, selling his prized fruit to local winemakers.

John Duval's aim with Entity is to produce an elegant Shiraz true to the Barossa. The 2017 release again includes some Eden Valley Shiraz to help maintain the elegance and style of Entity.

Planted in 1941 these deep rooted vines provide Grenache of exceptional quality.  Minimal intervention in the vineyard makes for an amazingly charasmatic wine.

This time-honoured blend is our offering to Zephyrus, Greek God of the West Wind, who is often depicted as a horse due to the speed attributed to this majestic animal. The vineyards of the Greater Barossa are regularly buffeted by cooling Westerly winds creating an ideal temperature range in which to slowly ripen.

Made from a blend of vineyards located across the eastern Barossa foothills, Moppa and Eden Valley, the wine displays plenty of deep, plush dark black fruit

We’re going 100% Eden Valley with 6 wines that we feel capture the essence of the supreme qualities and particular character of the region and reinforce why it should be treated with as much respect and fanfare as its famous next-door neighbour. These six wines normally retail at cellar-door for $305, but as a Friend of Artisans, you’ll pay just $239 saving you 22%. Plus, you’ll pay just $10 a case for delivery to any door in Australia. 

Schwarz Wine Co. Chenin Blanc is bright, fresh, laden with troppical aromatrics and delivered with crunchy acidity.  A wine to enjoy now, not deliberate over.  Chill, pour and relax!

Deep garnet in colour with a brooding complex aroma of dark cherry, plums and roasted vanillin bean. The palate is powerful and well structured, fleshy, with chewy textured tannins finishing with polish and focus. An exceptional Barossa vintage, this wine will mature well for many years.
