Our Vineyards
With over 350 acres of vineyards situated in Tanunda, Bethany, Vine Vale and Eden Valley, Château Tanunda has an enviable array of high-quality fruit to choose from to craft wines of distinction. It is this diversity of ‘terroirs’ which enables us to create our classic and refined house style.
Our wines come from some of the oldest vines in the Barossa, and the world. This includes Shiraz and Grenache planted on their own rootstock over 150 years ago; Shiraz, Semillon and Riesling vines over 100 years of age, and Shiraz and Cabernet vines of at least 50 years of age. These vineyards have proven the test of time to consistently produce wines of outstanding complexity, structure and intensity of flavour.
