WINE
A LITTLE UPDATE..........................
Cellar Door & Winery Update
We are pretty chuffed to be included in the latest James Halliday Top 100 Wines for 2023.
The Stranger 2020 was awarded 96 points in the Top 20 red wines over $40 and is now available for tasting in our Cellar Door & Winery.
Only 50 dozen cases were made of this wine and it won't last long.
New Fortified Wine
Now Available
For 18 years this fortified Riesling has been resting in barrel. Gaining complexity and slowly turning into that classic tawny colour.
2005 was a wonderful vintage and we are proud to offer you a truly unique wine from that vintage. Available for tasting in our Cellar Door & Winery
Note: If you are ordering as part of a mixed box, please allow two spaces please.
Our Barossa Story
Our story is one of making the bold move of buying a vineyard (Col did this without telling his wife, Fiona), moving interstate, changing career paths, and building a space to share their passion for this beautiful region and the world-class wine & food it produces.
The property consists of Riesling, Shiraz & Semillon, all planted around 1929. Grapes are also purchased from like-minded growers nearby to add to the line-up of wines available. Colin now makes all the wine onsite except the Riesling. Tastings are available each week from Thursday to Sunday in the Cellar Door & Winery - Bookings are preferred but not essential.Over time, Colin’s first career as a builder has come in very handy at Flaxman. He has built the cellar door, outdoor kitchen, pergola to house the 4.5metre long table, and built a pizza oven.
Join us to experience some genuine Barossan hospitality amongst the vines. A real hidden gem in the beautiful Eden Valley, just 10 minutes from both Angaston and Tanunda and 1 hour from Adelaide. Go on. You know you want to............
Meet the Cellar Door & Winery team
FionaHi. I look after these two boys, and it's a tough job, but someone has to do it. I'm a bit of a jack of all trades around here, so on my days off, I can be found in the office working on the website, doing the bookwork, marketing, and helping out in the vineyard and winery when and where I am needed. I look forward to welcoming you to our Cellar Door or hosting you at one of our lunches.
ColI'm Col. A Builder turned winemaker who also happens to enjoy cooking a bit. I'm the lucky person who rarely feels like I go to work, and I guess when you are indulging your passions, how can it feel like work? As they say, luck favours the brave, and it was our bold leap of faith that has us living in one of the most beautiful places on earth. Come and say hi, and you will understand why I will never work another day in my life.
GusI'm Gus, I'm 13 years young and the Cellar Door Manager here. I'll be here to greet you when you arrive and won't let you leave until I have won you over. I also work in the vineyard with Col most of the time, and I love getting caught in the nets during picking time, enjoy eating the odd grape or two, but I mainly love to be around people. I look forward to seeing you at our cellar door sometime soon.
