Description

The 2020 Welland Valley & Valley Cabernet Sauvignon was produced from vineyards in both the Barossa and Eden Valleys with the aim for a style that typifies the Barossa – plush fruit, subtle use of oak and soft, round tannins. This Cabernet Sauvignon offers dark fruits, licorice and cassis notes with hints of spice and cedary oak on the nose. The palate is rich with good structure and fine tannins to give length and power while finishing soft and full of flavour.

Welland Vineyard

Welland is the story of a group of friends, an old Barossa Valley Shiraz vineyard and its resurrection. The Welland story began with the arrival of the Krieg family, from Germany in 1847.

The Kriegs became one of the Barossa’s founding families. Hardworking and successful business people, the family owned the local brickworks, a tannery and also a significant amount of orchard and vineyard at the northern end of the Nuriootpa township.

Welland vineyard was originally planted in 1923 by the Krieg family. Situated on red clay soils, this vineyard for many years supplied premium fruit to well-known Barossa wineries such as Penfolds and Peter Lehmann.

The Barossa has more than 550 grape growers. Many of these growers are generational and while the Krieg family never owned or operated a winery themselves, their vineyard became known amongst local winemakers as growing some of the region’s finest Shiraz.

In 2017, the last few hectares of this old vineyard were listed for sale as a ‘development site’. The vines were within a whisker of meeting the bulldozers when a group of friends led by Ben and Madeleine Chapman purchased the block. Together they are now in the process of resurrecting this historic old vineyard. Since this date, the Welland vines have been trained onto new trellising. Irrigation installed in 2019 now allows these old vines a precious drink in extended periods of heat or low rainfall. In 2020, some of the dead vines will be replaced with young vines taken from cuttings off the Welland vineyard — same genetic material only much younger!

Grapes grown from the Welland vineyard have traditionally been sold to other Barossa wineries for use in making their iconic Shiraz wines. Today this fruit is used in making the Welland range of wines, giving this old vineyard a new opportunity to shine.
