David Franz Wines is a small-batch producer in the Barossa Valley, crafting wines with a hands-on approach from vine to bottle. Winemaker David Franz Lehmann focuses on producing high-quality fruit from the family’s vineyards in Stelzer and Stonewell Hill, where meticulous vineyard management ensures that each vintage reflects the land and climate. With a philosophy that winemaking begins in the vineyard, the wines are nurtured from pruning through to bottling, resulting in unique and expressive Barossa wines.
David Franz Wines showcases a diverse selection, including classic Barossa varietals alongside experimental blends. All wines are made with minimal intervention and undergo extended maturation in barrel and bottle before release. Each bottle is hand-printed and wrapped, reflecting the winery’s artisanal approach to winemaking.
The David Franz Wines Cellar Door offers a relaxed and informal tasting experience, inviting guests to explore its range of small-batch wines in a welcoming and character-filled space. Tastings are complemented by the opportunity to build a custom platter from a selection of local produce, creating a flexible and enjoyable experience.
On weekends, visitors can also enjoy freshly prepared hot food, with the menu changing weekly and announced via Instagram. With its casual approach and focus on quality wines, the cellar door provides an authentic and unpretentious Barossa experience.
