Winery Overview
Welland is an enduring ‘survivor’ vineyard in a truly unique location that is enjoying a new lease on life. You will find the Welland vineyard in South Australia’s Barossa Valley, in the township of Nuriootpa. Planted in 1923 by one of the Barossa’s founding families, Welland is the last remaining section of much larger plantings of vines and fruit orchards that once occupied the northern end of the township, and now surrounded by housing development.
Welland works with varietals that are ‘at home’ in the Barossa – Shiraz and Cabernet Sauvignon! These are ‘tried and tested’, they produce wonderfully rich and flavoursome wines that consumers around the world love. While the Welland label is young, owners Ben & Madeleine Chapman have years of hands-on wine industry experience in growing import / distribution relationships. A genuine desire to restore the Welland vineyard to good health thus becoming one of the Barossa’s and Australia’s most unique yet productive sites of high-quality Shiraz is their vision.
Their winemaking philosophy is simple — make wines they like to drink, and work with varieties that are suited to the Barossa. Rich, generous, balanced and longevity are words that characterise the Welland style — flavoursome wines that are enjoyable and approachable in their youth, retain balance, and will reward cellaring. Fruit is sourced from the Welland Shiraz vineyard and other premium vineyards across the Barossa. This allows for smaller parcels of exceptional and unique fruit to be used in making the Welland range of wines.
One of Australia’s leading designers was engaged to develop the Welland packaging, and a growing list of wine critic reviews and show results is testament to the wine quality.
