In German, the word Krondorf translates to 'Crown Village'. It was just one piece of old German that the Silesian settlers brought to the valley, along with Kaiserstuhl ('Emperor’s Seat'), which was the name they gave to the prominent peak of the Barossa Ranges that overlooked their village. Today, both a crown and Kaiserstuhl are depicted in the Krondorf crest, as seen on our wine labels.
