Tweedies Gully Vineyard
Located in the foothills between Lyndoch and Williamstown the Tweedies Gully Vineyard is a climatic mix of the Barossa Valley and Adelaide Hills. With higher rainfall and cooler temperatures than the neighbouring Barossa Valley floor the white varieties retain better balance while the reds maximise flavour maturity thanks to a longer ripening period. The vineyard has soils that are superb for winegrape production making this vineyard truly noteworthy.
Rohrlach's Block
Situated on Research Road, Nuriootpa, the Rohrlach's Block key feature is the deep clay based soils. These soils have an excellent capacity to hold moisture giving the plant an accessible source of water but at restrictive rates. The result is high quality fruit.
