The ‘Old Vine Expressions’ series is all about showcasing the significant history and special wine characteristics of a selection of old vine vineyards for which the Barossa valley is world famous for. The Barossa Old Vines Charter was instituted to register vineyards by age, so that older vines could be preserved, retained and promoted.
