Burge Family Winemakers is a historic winery in the Barossa Valley, with a winemaking tradition that dates back to the late 1860s. Founded by Percival Burge in 1928, the winery has remained dedicated to producing wines that reflect the region’s rich heritage and unique terroir. With vineyards featuring century-old Grenache and low-yielding Shiraz, the winery focuses on traditional techniques, including hand-picking, basket pressing, and minimal intervention winemaking.
Under the leadership of Rick Burge, the estate has been revitalised with a focus on quality, sustainability, and small-batch winemaking. The winery’s portfolio includes Shiraz, Grenache, Cabernet Sauvignon, and a selection of rare varietals such as Mourvèdre, Zinfandel, and Touriga. With a philosophy rooted in allowing the vineyard to shape the wine, Burge Family Winemakers continues to craft wines that are expressive, balanced, and built to age.
The Cellar Door at Burge Family Winemakers offers a relaxed and personal tasting experience in Lyndoch. Guests can explore a selection of estate-grown wines, including the flagship ‘Draycott’ Shiraz, alongside limited-release varietals and blends. The tasting room provides an opportunity to learn about the history of the winery, the old vine vineyards, and the minimal-intervention approach to winemaking.
Visitors can expect an intimate and informative experience, with knowledgeable hosts guiding them through the wines and their connection to the land. The setting is informal yet engaging, making it an ideal stop for those looking to appreciate Barossa wines with a strong sense of place.
