The famous Barossa wine region has a rich history. It is home to some of Australia’s most iconic wines, and some of the oldest-producing vines in the world.
The region is renowned for its big and bold styles of shiraz, and, increasingly, cabernet, grenache, Italian reds, riesling and semillon. These six wines are examples of what the Barossa does best.
There is also a swathe of Barossa producers experimenting with new varieties and styles. Katie Spain asks some of them to share what they're seeing and are most excited about.
Finally, whether you're looking to spend the day meandering around cellar doors, after a private vineyard tour and tasting, or want to stay in the one place – here are six wineries to visit on your trip to the region.
Enjoy your weekend,
