The idea for the formation of the Kurtz Family Vineyards is by no means unique. I t commenced from a long family history of growing grapes, drinking the end product and a desire to see wine made exclusively from our own grapes.
My great Grandfather, Alfred Bernhard(Ben) Kurtz commenced growing grapes in the sub region of light pass in the Barossa Valley in the 1930's and this block is still worked today.
Grandfather Bernhard Otto Kurtz, commenced grape growing in 1957 at his Light Pass vineyard and my father John Bernhard Kurtz moved to the existing vineyards in the early 1960's.
Hopefully this tradition of growing grapes in the Light Pass area will continue for many vintages to come.
