Geography :
Barossa has been proclaimed a viticultural zone under the Australian Geographic Indications Committee. The zone consists of two regions: the Barossa Valley which extends from Lyndoch in the south to Kalimna, Moppa and Ebenezer in the northwest at an elevation of 200 to 300 metres above sea level; and Eden Valley which is slightly to the east at a higher elevation of 400 to 600 metres.

Climate :
The Barossa has a Mediterranean climate, characterised by cool, wet winters with temperatures between 8°C and 20°C and warm, dry summers where temperatures are generally between 30°C and 35°C. It is a reliable grape growing area with none of the disastrous climatic extremes experienced by many other world wine regions.

Soils :
Barossa soil types vary from alluvial sands and rich fertile black soils of the Barossa Valley floor to the unfertile slopes overlaying the limestone of Eden Valley to sandy loam over clays of the Western Barossa. This range of soil types provides the basis for the Barossa’s breadth of quality wine styles and unparalleled range of varietals.
