About the winery
In 1838 two ships are sailing bound for Australia, aboard the Zebra is Samuel Johann Nietschke and on the Prince George is Johann Georg Kalleske. They are both pioneering grapegrowing families who make the Barossa their new home. Now step forward 130 years in time to 1968 and these two families join when John Kalleske marries Lorraine Nietschke. Their sons Tony, Kym and Troy run the vineyard and the more recently established winery.
However it was Lorraine’s forebears who originally made wine well before the current Kalleske boys decided to try their hand. The Nietschke family established a winery on the banks of the Jacob’s Creek soon after they planted vines in the 1840’s.
To honour Lorraine’s lineage and the inspiration they have bestowed these wines proudly bear the Nietschke name.
Nietschke wines are sourced from a variety of traditionally and sustainably farmed vineyards from across the Barossa Valley.
About the winery
Spinifex Wines owners and operators, Peter Schell and Magali Gely, have had a home in the Barossa Valley for over twenty years and hold a strong commitment to and passion for the Barossa. They also have a strong French connection, both physically and philosophically. Magali's family, who up until recently were vignerons with a long lineage in Lunel, near Montpellier, still live in south France, and over the last ten years Peter has worked six French vintages, in Provence, the Languedoc, Bordeaux and Burgundy.
Time spent in the south of France has fuelled their interest in making unique, hand crafted wines with personality, which are generous and honest expressions of the varieties and their provenance. Spinifex Wines grapes are sourced from a group of dedicated growers in both the Barossa and Eden Valleys, taking advantage of the great diversity of the soils and meso-climates of the Barossa to create wines with balance, character, depth of flavour and Barossan generosity.

About the winery
Fowles Wine own and manage 360 acres of vines across two vineyards called Upton Run and Billi's in the Strathbogie Ranges.
The topography of our family vineyards is undulating meaning our vines experience different micro climates and sunlight exposure; all of which can affect the character of the fruit. So although our soils are even, the diversity of aspect and micro climate in our vineyard blocks allows us to pick across a spectrum of ripeness and flavour profiles to craft interesting blends.
Fowles Wine has a wide variety of plantings including: Riesling, Sauvignon Blanc, Arneis, Vermentino, Pinot Grigio, Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Sangiovese, Merlot, Shiraz, Mouvedre and Cabernet Sauvignon.
The style and character of Fowles Wine reflects our cool climate home. Our white wines have great fruit intensity, minerality and are light and fresh. Our red wines are highly perfumed, intensely coloured and powerful, yet restrained and elegant.
