Winery Overview
Château Tanunda, Icon of the Barossa, is one of Australia’s most historically significant wineries. Established in 1890, the Château is privately owned by the Geber family, who have put their heart, soul and passion into handcrafting some of the Barossa’s most rare and collectable wines, with a focus on unique Old Vine Expressions of 50, 100 and 150 Year Old vines and our most famous wine Grand Barossa Shiraz.
Wines are handcrafted by combining traditional methods and modern technology. Limited release wines are hand-picked, basket-pressed and bottled unfiltered. The team at Château Tanunda believe in minimal intervention to allow the true character of the grapes to express themselves.
Barrel ageing and master blending is our skill and artform. The vineyards are the soul; the basket-press winery is the heart; the wines are Château Tanunda’s passion with everything finely tuned to produce delicious, distinctive and elegant wines.
