Chaffey Bros (English)

BROTHERS-IN-LAW DANIEL CHAFFEY HARTWIG AND THEO ENGELA ARE THE LATEST GENERATION OF THE CHAFFEY FAMILY TO PLY THEIR VINOUS TRADE IN AUSTRALIA.

OUR HANDMADE MINIMAL INTERVENTION WINES COME FROM INDIVIDUAL PARCELS OF LOW YIELDING VINEYARDS, SPREAD THROUGHOUT THE BAROSSA AND EDEN VALLEYS. DRAWING ON TRUE OLD VINES AND COMPLEX SOILS, WE SEE OURSELVES AS PART PARFUMIER – DISCOVERING DELICATE AROMATICS;
PART HISTORIAN – PRESERVING THE PURITY OF PRISTINE FRUIT; AND PART MAD SCIENTIST – REVELLING IN THE LOST ART OF SMALL BATCH BLENDING.
OLD VINES OF EDEN VALLEY RIESLING AND BAROSSA VALLEY GRENACHE AND SHIRAZ ARE OUR BUILDING BLOCKS… OUR PILLARS.
