There are some seriously old vines in the Barossa. Way back in the 1800’s settlers planted vines from cuttings brought over on ships in wet hessian sacks – they’ve not only survived two world wars & global warming but thanks to the non proliferation of phylloxera in Australia they are the oldest continuously producing grape vines of their varietals in the world.
The Ancestral Vines tour will let you discover these glorious old vines (once pulled from existence with the vine pull scheme of the 1980’s) of which there are only 30% left of the original vines planted by the first settlers. Meet the custodians of these vines who not only will talk you through how they look after these incredible relics but share their secrets – you may be required to wear shoe covers for the protection of the vines whilst on tour when visiting these vineyards.
