Wine
The Barossa has the world's oldest Shiraz vineyards, some dating back to the 1840s. Perfectly suited to the region's climate and soil, they produce incredibly complex wines, rich and full-bodied, but with soft tannins. It's a style no other region can match, and through iconic wines such as the legendary Penfolds Grange and Henschke's Hill of Grace, Barossa Shiraz has made an indelible mark on the international wine scene.
