The 65 acre Balthazar Barossa vineyard is situated on Stonewell Road in the Marananga sub-region of the Barossa Valley which includes the nearby Torbreck and Greenock Creek wineries and the Stonewell Road vineyards of Penfolds and Peter Lehmann Wines. The vines are hand pruned and grown on a single wire trellis. The vineyard management ethos is minimal irrigation and sustainable environmental practice.

The result is small parcels of grapes bearing rich intensity of flavour, brilliant colour, inherent balance and optimal ripeness.

Tasting Notes: Deep, dark core with bright crimson rim. Deep, spice driven nose with chocolate, fruit cake with ripe, dark berry fruit following and eventually coming to the fore. Thick and creamy in the mouth with deep, rich, ripe full fruited flavours. The most supple tannins imaginable with sweetest berry fruit possible. Hauntingly seductive – dangerous for regular consumption! Great now but be fantastic in another five to six years.
