Barratt

Barratt Wines, acclaimed for award-winning specialty Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, is a family-owned and operated winery located in the Piccadilly Valley.

The Barratt Family, as caretakers of one of the earliest planted vineyards in the region, are recognised as pioneer winemakers with a reputation for premium quality and varietal typicity.

It all started in 1990, when a friend phoned Lindsay Barratt about a vineyard that had recently come up for sale near Summertown, in the Piccadilly Valley of the Adelaide Hills. Instantly falling in love with the property, Lindsay and his wife Carolyn were unable to act in time for the auction the following week so put the idea out of their minds.

As luck would have it, the property didn’t sell at auction and the agent – a mutual friend – was keen to help Lindsay in his endeavour to buy what was one of the earliest planted vineyards in the region now known as the ‘Grand Cru’ of the Adelaide Hills.
