Description
"Modern Barossa Valley Reds, pure Eden Valley Whites."
St John’s Road is a celebration of what the Barossa does best. Eden Valley’s high-altitude elegance and structure is personified in the pristine 'Peace of Eden' Riesling.
The warmer Valley floor is perfectly represented by the Blood & Courage Shiraz and its siblings, 'Motley Bunch' (GMS) and the acclaimed 'The Resilient' Grenache.
These wines are modern Barossa. An abundance of flavour with elegance, style and longevity.
History
St John’s Road was born of a chance encounter between founders Martin & Vivienne Rawlinson and a Saint-Émilion vigneron looking to purchase vineyards in Barossa.
Managing a chambre d’hotes (Bed & Breakfast) in Bordeaux at the time, they were attracted by the romance of making their own wine in Australia and purchased a small vineyard in the Eden Valley in 2001, later acquiring a property in Greenock.
Guided by the best and brightest of the Barossa winemaking fraternity they set about creating a stable of expressive and elegant wines.
Following the passing of Martin Rawlinson in 2005, St John’s Road continued the founders legacy under the custodianship of a new group of passionate growers and makers.
