Barristers Block Wines, located in the esteemed Adelaide Hills region, is a family-owned winery that has been producing a diverse portfolio of world-class wines since its first vineyard plantings in 1997. The winery's rich history, marked by a six-year legal battle to save their vineyard, lends a unique character to its name and ethos. Today, Barristers Block combines its Wrattonbully vineyard's fertile red sandy loam soils, ideal for Shiraz and Cabernet varieties, with the cool climate of its Adelaide Hills vineyard in Woodside, producing a range of wines including Pinot Gris, Rose, Chardonnay, and Tempranillo among others.
This fusion of vineyards enables Barristers Block to offer an extensive array of wine styles, from the refreshing crispness of Sauvignon Blanc to the rich complexity of Shiraz. The family's dedication to quality and the Adelaide Hills' vibrant wine and dining scene contribute to the winery's reputation as a destination for wine lovers. With the recent addition of Boston Bay Wines in Port Lincoln to their portfolio, Barristers Block continues to evolve, bringing new dimensions to their wine offerings and enhancing the region's wine tourism appeal.
