Barossa.

The Barossa in South Australia is home to some of the world’s oldest vines. Shiraz has been made here for more than 175 years, Grenache was first planted in the 1840s, and in 1847 Joseph Gilbert planted the first Riesling at Pewsey Vale in the Eden Valley. The Barossa is phylloxera-free, so vines that are more than a century old still bear fruit, and since 2009 the Barossa Old Vine Charter has classified old vines into four age categories. The Barossa zone has 13,519 hectares of vines. It contains two regions: the Barossa Valley (11,156 hectares, 112–596 metres above sea level) and the higher, cooler Eden Valley (2,101 hectares, up to 632 metres). According to Barossa Australia, the Barossa has 550 grape growers, 170 wine brands and more than 150 wineries.
