Barossa Valley, Wine region valley in South Australia.

The Barossa Valley stretches across 13 kilometers in length and 14 kilometers in width, featuring distinct microclimates in its western and eastern sections.

British Colonel William Light named the valley in 1837 to commemorate a British victory over French forces at the Battle of Barrosa in 1811.

German settlers from Silesia established strong winemaking traditions, introducing Syrah, Semillon, and Riesling grapes that formed the base of Australian wine production.

The region contains over 150 wineries concentrated around the towns of Nuriootpa, Tanunda, Angaston, and Lyndoch, offering numerous wine tasting opportunities.

Seppeltsfield winery maintains a collection of wines aged for over 100 years, representing an unbroken lineage of vintage Tawny since 1878.
