Our Vineyards

Aldo’s vineyard is situated in the centre of Williamstown in the southern Barossa Valley where Aldo Baraglia tendered to this vineyard for his entire life. The gnarly 88 year old dry-grown Grenache vines have survived droughts, floods and even housing developments. These old relics are harvested and pruned by hand and receive minimal input throughout the season. In addition to the old Grenache there is another block of younger 31 year old Grenache and chardonnay recently grafted to Pinot Gris.

Hill 5, Clare Valley

The Hill 5 vineyard was purchased by Steve and Laura Baraglia in 2005. With an elevation of 475m, this vineyard is one of the highest in the Clare Valley, a perfect site for Riesling. The vineyard was planted in 2000 with 5 acres of Shiraz and 5 acres of Riesling. In 2006 a further 5 acres of Riesling was planted on an eastern facing slope to further increase this vineyard's potential. In 2011 1.5 acres was grafted to Cabernet Sauvignon.

Greenock, Barossa Valley

The Greenock vineyard was purchased by FABAL in 1999. The higher elevation of 330m results in the vineyard having a slower ripening period compared to other areas in the Barossa. The most of the vineyard was planted in 2001 to Shiraz and Cabernet Sauvignon, with some existing blocks of older Grenache and Shiraz up to 50 years in age. Over the years this vineyard has grown a reputation of producing consistent icon grade fruit for both large corporate and smaller boutique wineries.
