To commemorate the 60th anniversary of the founding of the AWRI in 1955, we are making a one-off batch of wine in the 2015 vintage: a Barossa Shiraz.

This blog will tell the story of the 60th anniversary wine – from the grapes that are growing right now through harvest, winemaking, packaging and beyond to when the wine is analysed and most importantly tasted. The wine will be a blend of six sub-regions – Ebenezer, Greenock, Krondorf, Lyndoch, Marananga and Nuriootpa in equal proportions, and all from old vines.

If you have any questions or comments about this project, please contact Peter Godden peter.godden@awri.com.au.
