Bethany, Barossa Valley
The cycle of life in the Barossa vines has been turning for over 150 years, since the Schrapel family planted their first vineyards in 1852. The family arrived in South Australia from Silesia and made their home in Bethany, the Barossa Valley’s first settlement. Today, with Bethany Wines being run by fifth and sixth generations of the same Schrapel family, the vines life cycle continues in much the same way as it always has, with minimal intervention from others so they can produce the best possible grapes and wines.
Tasting Notes
With fruit from Eden Valley and Barossa Valley this Chardonnay is beautifully balanced with ripe orchard and stone fruits being complemented by fine grained acidity. Lees stirring and new French oak have added savoury complexity and texture to this wine.
Winemaker's Report
