Winery & Vintage Info
Murray Street Vineyards, where traditional winemaking is our passion. Their vineyards, winery and tasting room are located in Greenock in the western Barossa, a part of the beautiful landscape tapestry of the region. Winemaker Andrew Seppelt, together with a small team of friends and family, produce wine that conveys the rich viticultural traditions of the Barossa.
DIRT TO GLASS
As a phrase, ‘dirt to glass' may lack the romance of typical ‘wine-speak’, but it has a compelling purpose to it – to tell the story of a particular wine, and the passage that it has taken from the vine to the glass.
The western ridge of the Barossa Valley is exceptional grape growing country, amongst the finest in the world. Located 41 degrees latitude south, and 65 kilometers (40 miles) north east of Adelaide in South Australia, vines were planted in the Barossa Valley with cuttings transported from France and Spain by the first European settlers in the 1840s.
Today, courtesy of the ongoing commitment of multiple generations of local grape growers and the continuing absence of phylloxera, the Barossa Valley remains home to the oldest vineyards in the world.
