The Old Salem Barossa Shiraz takes its name from the Old Salem Lutheran Church, which was built with humble claystone in 1856. The church was destroyed in the flood of 1946, but it lives on in the memorial stone laid in our vineyard and the grapes harvested from it. These are incorporated with carefully selected premium grapes from other longstanding Barossa family growers to create this distinctive Barossa Shiraz.

Tanunda’s annual Kingship Competition was a highly prized event in South Australia. With fears of invasion and world conflict during the late 19th and early 20th Centuries, the Tanunda Rifle Club (1856-1940) promoted skills of bearing arms and marksmanship. The best riflemen competed with each other to become the famed ‘King’ marksman of the year. The pursuit of accuracy and the defence of place are the essence of this beautifully crafted Kingship Cabernet Sauvignon, with fruit sourced from our vineyard on Rifle Range Road, home of the former Tanunda Rifle Club.
