Hobbs of Barossa Ranges

John Duval Wines

Massena

The Hobbs name is relativey new to the Australian wine landscape. Greg and

Allison Hobbs' postage-stamp sized vineyard in the upper reaches of the

Barossa Ranges is anything but, with Shiraz vines dating back to 1905. In

1998 30 dozen bottles of "house wine" was made for the family and Hobbs of

Barossa Ranges was born. Greg and Allison collaborate with winemakers

Pete Schell and Chris Ringland to create their wines, spearheaded by a

powerful trio of old vine Barossa Shiraz. "Out philosophy is to nurture rather

than interfere with nature. Even in bad years, this block produces good fruit.

Maybe it is simply being stubborn in old age, refusing to bend to the whims of

nature".

John Duval is one of the world's best known winemakers and comes from a

family that boasts four generations of South Australian vignerons. In 2003,

after 28 years with Penfolds, including 16 years as Chief Winemaker, John

developed his own label. Utilising old vine Barossa fruit, John has created five

stunning wines within his range. You will find his wines reflect the terroir of

the Barossa and the handcrafted attention of all things 'John Duval'. This year

John Duval Wines reflect on the development and successes of the family

winery as they enter their second decade, together with John's continuing

involvement in his two joint venture projects in Chile and Washington State.

Massena started as an inquisitive venture between friends, entrenched in

the enjoyment of the physical process of making wine and transferring this

into drinking the finished product. We began in the 2000 harvest, with our

roots steeped in Barossa history, but with a vision for creating a new

viticultural heritage. Without a set plan, our thirst for knowledge and

unbridled enthusiasm became the driving force behind the Massena wine

style. Based on drinkability and conviviality, Massena wines are 'lifestyle'

wines, they are made with a view that each wine has a context. With food,

with friends, for no reason whatsoever, they are there to be enjoyed.

Schwarz Wine Co

Sons of Eden

Spinifex

Jason Schwarz's wines taste of the vineyards where the grapes are grown. And

he;s got a good eye for finding great vineyards...both Jason's father and

grandfather were state pruning champions, he grew up among the vines on the

family property at Bethany and he's worked along side some of the Barossa's

best known grape growers and winemakers. A shed-load of experience has

taught him that once you find great fruit you look after it with a light touch. "I

like the fruit to speak for itself", Jason says.

Sons of Eden has taken its name from the two partners, Corey Ryan and Simon

Cowham, who both learnt their crafts over the years in the vineyards and cellars

of the Eden Valley. Their passion is dedicated to crafting wines of unquestionable

quality from the grapes of some of the Barossa's most treasured vineyards. After

carefully selecting sites Sons of Eden is able to take full control of the process

from teh vineyard to the bottle, resulting in wines with a sense of individualtiy

and provenance.

With family roots and extensive wine making experience in the South of

France, there is a strong French connection which droves the style and feel of

Spinifex. Started in 2001 by Peter Schell and Magali Gely, Spinifex sources

grapes from some of the oldest Barossa and Eden Valley vineyards planted to

the classic Mediterranean varieties (Shiraz, Grenache, Mataro, Cinsault,

Carignan and Ugni Blanc) that have been successfully grown in the Barossa for

over 150 years. With a winemaking philosophy that embraces sustainable

vineyard practices an minimal intervention in the winery, there is a strong

focus n producing wines where balance, purity of fruit and restraint is the key.

Such an approach delivers wines with a strong sense of integrity, personality,

regional character and style.
