✨ Technical Specifications
The 'Terroirs of the Barossa' collection by Chateau Tanunda is a dedicated exploration of sub-regional expression, highlighting the diverse microclimates and ancient soils of the Barossa Valley. Rather than blending across the valley, this series focuses on specific sub-appellations such as Ebenezer, Greenock, and Marananga to showcase how distinct soil profiles—ranging from ironstone-rich red clay to sandy loam—and varying elevations influence the Shiraz grape. Crafted using traditional open fermenters and basket pressing, these wines pay homage to the pioneering heritage of the Barossa, offering a deep, structural, and highly expressive journey through one of the world's premier Shiraz-producing regions.
