1837 Barossa is a winery in Lyndoch that celebrates the history of the Barossa region, named by Colonel William Light in 1837. The estate produces wines from both the Barossa Valley and Eden Valley, focusing on Shiraz, Cabernet Sauvignon, GSM blends, and whites such as Riesling and Sauvignon Blanc. The vineyards are certified sustainable, with minimal chemical input, and the wines are made to reflect the region’s unique soils and climate.
1837 Barossa follows a careful winemaking approach, using grapes grown in limestone-rich soil for reds and in cooler, sandy loam soil for whites. The winery’s collection includes both classic and premium wines, with each bottle carrying a cordon sash as a nod to its historical connection. As part of the Barossa Valley, the estate brings together wine, history, and scenic landscapes.
