The bouquet displays intense raisin and nutty rancio characters which carry on to the mellow, dried fruit palate. The lingering finish is rich and full of flavour, with pleasant, well integrated tannins and brandy spirit. The grapes are sourced from our Homestead Vineyards in Bethany and are some of the oldest vines on the estate.

The Barossa was well known in earlier years for its fortified wines and the older plantings reflect their popularity in that era. The vines are trained on a single wire, hand pruned in the winter and the grapes are handpicked late in the season as the vine’s leaves are turning their autumn colours. Due to their age, the vines are very low yielding resulting in the intense rich flavours tasted in the berries.

Description

Bethany Wines

Visit Bethany, the Barossa’s oldest village and explore the history of our amazing wine region.

With some of the oldest vines in the Barossa, Bethany Wines has special place in the region’s winemaking story.

Johann Gottlob Schrapel and his family arrived from Silesia on the George Washington in 1844. This was just eight years after South Australia was settled. Like many Silesian migrants, they travelled by ox cart to Bethany (Bethanien), and established the Barossa’s first settlement.

28 families from from Silesia (now Poland) settled in Bethany in 1842.

It’s still a close-knit community centerd around the church, which was built in 1883 with bluestone from the quarry.

Many of the locals grow grapes and make wine, and trace their family history back to the first settlers. There are 22 locations of interest along a 5km return walk.

Bethany is on the Barossa Heritage Trail, a great way to learn more about the region’s history and traditions.
