Brothers at War, located in the renowned Barossa Valley, is a boutique winery born from sibling rivalry and shared passion for winemaking. Founded in 2013 by brothers Angus and Sam Wardlaw, the winery began with a small batch of Shiraz and quickly grew into a recognised name, reflecting their family’s deep roots in the region. With their father, David Wardlaw, as an early influence, the brothers have built a reputation for producing exceptional wines that capture the character of the Barossa Valley’s terroir.
Winemaker Angus Wardlaw’s experience across leading wineries, including time in the Clare Valley, has shaped Brothers at War into a brand synonymous with quality and innovation. His accolades, such as 'Up and Coming Riesling Winemaker,' highlight his dedication to crafting wines that balance tradition with modern techniques. Alongside Sam, who brings extensive production experience, and Chris Alderton, the Vigneron Director with expertise in environmental science, the team combines winemaking skill with sustainable viticulture to produce wines that celebrate the Barossa’s heritage and potential.
The Brothers at War Cellar Door provides an intimate and welcoming setting for guests to experience the winery’s diverse range of wines. Visitors can sample varieties such as Chardonnay, Riesling, Pinot Grigio, Rosé, Grenache, Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon, Shiraz, and Mataro. Each tasting offers insight into the winery’s focus on small-batch production and expressive wines that showcase the region’s rich soils and climate.
Set in a boutique environment that reflects the winery’s personal approach, the Cellar Door offers guided tastings complemented by optional cheese pairings.
