Double Trouble blends two outstanding regional varieties in tribute to the boy’s time in this ‘double life’ of one endless summer.

Trent Burge grew up a keen cricketer and footballer, revelling in the camaraderie and competition of local teams. He followed this passion to England, spending several years playing seasons of cricket and returning home to work Barossa vintage.

High Winter rainfall preceded a warm November and December, resulting in healthy vine canopies and early flowering. Annual rainfall was less than the long term average. Timely rain and an Indian Summer slowed down the pace of ripening allowing flavours and baume’s to develop. The resulting harvest was a good, healthy yield with high quality fruit. Bunches with small berries of intense flavour and colour, along with excellent tannins and natural acidity.

To bring out the best from the Barossa region, we combine valley-floor Shiraz with cool climate Cabernet Sauvignon, from a family-owned vineyard in neighbouring Eden Valley.

Description

Barossa Boy

His family’s history in the Barossa Valley goes back to 1855 when his great-great-great grandfather John Burge immigrated to South Australia. He began work as a winemaker, and every generation since has followed. Winemaking is well and truly in the Burge blood.

A sixth generation Barossa winemaker, our founder Trent Burge grew up in and on Barossa soil.

​Riding trail bikes around the vineyards, playing local cricket and footy, he had dirt under his nails and Barossa blood in his veins.

The boy has grown to craft new stories in wine. Barossa Boy is his passion project; his heart worn proudly on his sleeve. Tales of generational wisdom and legendary old vines are blended with fresh perspective and a worldly, modern palate. Barossa Boy wines are devoted to the ultimate expression of the Barossa region’s signature varieties and distinctive characters.

​Each vintage brings the anticipation of a new chapter, and the opportunity to bottle the season’s tale from bud to harvest.
