Barossa Zone
Australia / South Australia / Adelaide Super Zone

Summary

This zone is located just north of Adelaide and split into two regions. In Barossa Valley Region, vineyard sites are warmer and situated on flatter valley floors. The eastern hills of Eden Valley Region offer cooler sites and higher retained acidity. Shiraz dominates production, and producers are known to blend grapes from both regions for complexity.
