Description
Turkey Flat is tucked away on the edge of Tanunda in the beautiful Barossa Valley, surrounded by historic vineyards dating back to 1847.
Cellar Door
Come see the charming Cellar Door, a rustic bluestone building that has been lovingly restored from its previous days as the Schulz family butcher shop. The Cellar Door is a place for everyone to taste our current release wines.
History
Shiraz was first planted at Turkey Flat in 1847 by Johann Fiedler. Fiedler was one of the first Prussian Lutherans to make wine in the Barossa. He was noted for his early efforts to experiment with grape varietals to test the viticultural viability of the new settlement. A journalist visiting Turkey Flat in 1851 notes that an experimental vineyard of 72 varieties had been planted to identify what was suited to the environment.
