Winery & Vintage Info
Grant Burge Wines was established by a fifth-generation Barossa vigneron and winemaker. Throughout his career, Grant has been one of the most respected and innovative forces in the Australian wine industry.
The history of the Burge family and their long association with winemaking in the region can be traced back to March 1855, when noted tailor John Burge immigrated to the Barossa from Hillcot, near Pewsey in Wiltshire, England with his wife Eliza and their two sons. John worked as a winemaker at Hillside Vineyards and his love of viticulture was passed onto his son Meshach, who continued the tradition making his first wine in 1865, while becoming a prominent community leader. Meshach married Emma in 1883 and they had eight children. First-born Percival established the Wilsford Winery near Lyndoch in 1928. Percival had two sons, Noel and Colin, and Colin and his wife Nancy had one son, Grant. Following in the footsteps of his father and forefathers before him, Grant carried the winemaking tradition into the 21st century.
The winery has flourished both nationally and internationally, with the wines receiving acclaim from wine writers and lovers alike, and the unwavering focus on producing beautiful Barossa wines has only grown stronger under the stewardship of Chief Winemaker Craig Stansborough and Viticulturist Rodney Birchmore.
The Grant Burge Moscato Frizzante 2020 fruit is sourced from premium vineyards in the Barossa Valley. Only the best parcels of grapes are selected to make this premium, delicate, fruit-driven wine with excellent balance, which is best enjoyed chilled on a warm Summer day. Winery Notes
