The Barossa Valley lies 70 kilometres northeast of Adelaide, a low-lying valley between the North Para River and the Barossa Range that has produced wine commercially since the 1840s. Shiraz from old, ungrafted dry-grown vines in the Barossa is among Australia's most internationally recognised wine style, with some blocks tracing continuous vine plantings back to the mid-nineteenth century. The valley's German Lutheran heritage, established by Silesian settlers, is reflected in its stone churches, villages, and food traditions.
