Brothers at War
Barossa , South Australia
Winery Overview
What’s the worst a little sibling rivalry could bring? A few bruises, and a couple of stitches, all the joys of brotherhood. Surrounded by the legacy of Barossa winemaking pioneers, one being their ‘Old Man’ David Wardlaw, for the boys, a life in the wine industry was inevitable.
Picking up some other guys along the way, the Brothers vision has organically grown into a shared passion to create world class wines from small parcels of exceptional fruit.
Now in their thirties, and as fathers themselves, the Brothers’ are taking themselves a little more seriously with a wealth of award-winning wines and accolades under their belt.

Winemaker Bio
Born into a winemaking family as the youngest son of a Barossa winemaking pioneer, it is arguable whether nature or nurture played the stronger part in what inspired Angus’s love for wine. Determined to imprint his own mark on the industry, Angus started his journey bright-eyes and bushy-tailed at 18-years-old with a vintage at Dorrien Estate. Four-years later, he relocated to the Clare Valley with an ambitious winemaking position at Kirrihill.
In his spare time, Angus dabbled with small parcels of fruit from the Barossa and Eden Valley, with the vision of Brothers at War coming into focus. Fast forward 10-years, and Brothers at War is now a successful breakthrough brand, recognised by James Halliday as a five-star winery. With an illustrious collection of accolades already under his sleeve such as ‘Up and Coming Riesling Winemaker’, at the International Riesling Challenge, and ‘Best Small Producer’ at Barossa Valley Wine Show, Angus’s achievements demonstrate that his determined nature has enshrined himself as a new generation of Barossa Valley greats.
