About the wine
This is the type of wine that made Barossa famous
-
Barossa Valley is the holy grail of Aussie Shiraz, famed for its luxurious reds and big names like Penfolds and Henschke. This is where Josh Pfeiffer learnt his craft… and you can tell.
-
As the son of a Penfolds viticulturist, Josh Pfeiffer grew up among the most famous vineyards in the Barossa Valley, and he has connections with top grape-growers all over the region. This premium red was made using fruit from two of his favourite vineyards - Hampel and Alkina. He says “Both parcels offer power and precision, but they have different aromas and flavours. Combined, they make a pretty special wine.”
-
This dark, brooding red is the type of wine that made Barossa famous. It’s not a ‘whack you in the face’ fruit-bomb, it’s pure fine wine quality. A super-classy balance of fruit and oak complexity, with decadent notes of dark cherries and blueberries. In a wine like this, the talent of the winemaker and the quality of the fruit stand out a mile.

Wine profile
Meet the winemaker - Josh Pfeiffer
-
Josh is an up-and-coming winemaker with four generations of Barossa grape-growers blood flowing through his veins. From growing up on a Penfolds vineyard to cutting his teeth at Henschke, you could say Australia’s top 2 wineries made him who he is. And what a talent they’ve made.
-
After helping put his family winery on the map, Josh is excited to branch out and make his own wines, with his name on the label. He’s taking a fresh approach to traditional Aussie wines, backed by barrels of passion, industry know-how, and a knack for securing the best parcels of grapes…
-
That’s because he comes with an incredible network of grape-growing buddies. Lots of the guys now running the vineyards around his patch - in the Barossa Valley and Langhorne Creek - are his age. They all went to school together and share an unbreakable bond. And it’s thanks to these relationships that he’s able to get hold of really top-quality fruit to make his wines for you.
