Wine Description
The Old Salem Barossa Shiraz takes its name from the Old Salem Lutheran Church, which was built in 1856. The church was destroyed in the flood of 1946, but it lives on in the memorial stone laid in our vineyard and the grapes harvested from it. These are incorporated with carefully selected premium grapes from other longstanding Barossa family growers to create this distinctive Barossa Shiraz.

Winemaker's Bio
Nick Badrice, a true Barossan native, boasts over three decades of winemaking expertise. His journey commenced at Leo Burings, learning under esteemed Riesling vintner John Vickery, sparking a lifelong passion for winemaking. Nick honed his craft at Charles Sturt University before embarking on his Australian wine journey. With 35 vintages under his belt, he has crafted wines across Australia's premier wine-growing regions. International stints in Spain refined his skills, notably with Bodegas Borsao. Nick has been making Krondorf wines since 2005; his winemaking philosophy is one of minimalism, and his in-depth understanding of the Barossa and Eden Valleys sub-regional diversity allows him to capture and showcase the region’s essence in each Krondorf wine.
