Background
Grand Pappy’s is a tribute to the founding generation of the 1847 Winery and our very first vigneron. Chosen for his courage, vision, and deep connection to the land, Grand Pappy laid the foundation for generations to come. This wine is crafted from our oldest, most exceptional vines, grown in select parcels of the Barossa Valley. Aged in fine oak and made in only the best vintages, Grand Pappy’s reflects the pinnacle of our winemaking—rich in flavour, refined in structure, and deeply rooted in family heritage. It is the purest expression of tradition, craftsmanship, and the land that started it all.
The Grand Pappy’s Gold Shiraz is sourced from the finest areas of Barossa Valley, perfectly suited for growing Shiraz. The soil consists of deep red sandy loam, rich in minerals and excellent for drainage, providing ideal conditions for vine growth.
The vineyards are located at elevations between 200 and 250 meters, with a unique microclimate that enhances Shiraz with concentrated fruit flavors and spicy. aromatics.
Winemaking
The grapes, sourced from vines over 45 years old, were handpicked and meticulously selected, followed by fermentation in temperature-controlled open fermenters to preserve vibrant fruit flavors and freshness. The wine was then aged for 22 months in French oak barrels, where the elegant oak aromas harmonized beautifully with Shiraz’s spicy and fruity profile, adding depth and structure.
Vintage Report
The 2019 vintage in the Barossa Valley was marked by lower-than-average yields but exceptional fruit quality. A dry winter and spring, combined with limited rainfall and several heat spikes during summer, resulted in small berry size and concentrated flavors. While overall yields were down—particularly in dry-grown vineyards—the grapes harvested were of outstanding intensity and balance. Red varieties such as Shiraz, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Grenache showed excellent color, structure, and depth, with firm tannins and vibrant acidity. The vintage favored producers who managed irrigation and canopy well, allowing them to craft wines of remarkable richness and aging potential. 2019 is considered a low-yield, high-quality year for the region.

“A thoroughly exquisite Barossa shiraz made with traditional techniques before being barrel selected to achieve the final blend. An opening of high-end floral with a sweet cherry glaze nuance. The palate is simply sublime. This is Barossa shiraz with style and elegance, yet it loses nothing of the power and intensity that is part of the regional DNA. Dark chocolate, cherry and plum with a trace of licorice and roasted coffee. It’s all there in abundance”.

“Gloriously rich and powerful, with a hint of grace and refinement, the wine exhibits blackberry, toasted spice, mocha, and toasty oak characters on the nose. It’s immensely concentrated on the palate, delivering outstanding weight and expansive mouthfeel. Multi-layered with seductive complexity, finishing with persistence and gratification”.
