Adelaide, South Australia – 2 September
Château Tanunda, Icon of the Barossa, has been awarded the South Australian Wine Export Award at the prestigious 2025 South Australian Premier’s Business and Export Awards.

This recognition is only possible thanks to our passionate team, our growers and my family, whose dedication and commitment to Château Tanunda now sees us proudly represented in more than 35 countries worldwide.”
