Barossa
Valley
|
The Barossa Valley is located
about one hour's drive north of Adelaide. It lies on a north-south plain from
180 to 290 metres altitude. The different sections enable the Valley to produce
a full range of wine types and styles. Mild, wet winters and hot dry summers
make the Barossa an ideal grape growing region. Today about 500 growers produce
an average of 55,000 tonnes of grapes each vintage; from approximately 7,000
hectares of vineyard.
