Shiraz Barossa South Australia
Just outside the Barossa village of Bethany, Lutheran settlers built a simple mud and stone dwelling in 1842 to house a local cowherd. Vines were later planted around the homestead and it took on the name Landhaus. The little cottage has since been refurbished and the neglected vines nursed back to health. The limited yields of Landhaus are now a realization of everything Barossa, winemaking tradition and the endowments of nature. An old vines Shiraz of power, texture and immense depth of flavour, stylish, seductive and full of charm.

Shiraz is sourced from low yielding vineyards between sixty and seventy five years of age, yielding a mere 1½ to 2 tonne per acre, planted mainly to red brown over dark red soils and chalky limestone, situated around the ancient Barossa winegrowing precincts of Bethany and Ebeneezer, Stockwell and Kalimna, Greenock and Koonunga Hill. Grapes are fermented on skins for several days at cooler temperatures to preserve and enhance the quality of fruit. Parcels are pressed and filled to barrel for completion of ferments and full natural malolactic. Components are racked to a selection of seasoned French oak barriques for fifteen months maturation before bottling, unfiltered and unfined.
Saturated dark berry colour. Bramble and liquorice nose, pepper, cocoa and spice. A huge mouthful of chocolate, black cherries, plum and exotic spice flavours pulling themselves together into a supple wine that strives for elegance, it's all in the sleek balance, allowing the rich flavours to ride on and linger beautifully. The texture is silky and mouth filling with lively acid and fine tannins providing great balance and structure.

John, Barbara and Kane Jaunutis love of the Barossa with its wines, people & lifestyle developed over 30 years of visiting the region

In 2002 they set out to live the dream and passion and bought the Landhaus property with its Vineyard and Cottage built in 1842 by the first Barossa Settlers. It was a tough start as the vineyard was badly distressed and in need of a lot of T.L.C. So the decision was made to cut and drop the grapes from the 02 vintage, so the vines could shut down with happy memories. After a further 12 months work on the vineyards, the vines starting to respond and good bunches forming when disaster stuck, 2 weeks before the 03 vintage with a freak hailstorm and heavy rain which ruined the crop and once again we had to cut and drop the grapes.

Finally in 04 Landhaus with son Kane, as winemaker, produced the first vintage of Basket Pressed Shiraz, 270 Dozen, which sold out in 8 weeks when it was released. The dream was realized and the vision to produce super premium wines was born. Landhaus now produces 8 varieties totaling 4800 cases of premium & super premium wines per year. The vision was for Landhaus to be distinctly Boutique & Contemporary Australian, reflecting a commitment to uncompromising quality and innovation.

Kane Jaunutis, set the Landhaus winemaking philosophy, their family represents the heart of all activities. All the generations of people in the Barossa who devoted their lives to wine, have instilled in their souls a deep respect for the identity of the territory and a firm characterization of Landhaus wines.

What they want to offer is simply the best interpretation of the Barossa terroir through their deep rooted beliefs, by trying to mediate and to mix tradition with innovation, according to the Latin saying in medio stat virtus. Landhaus wines never look for unconditional approval, their personality is not prone to easy compromise. Landhaus want to make wines that are stylish, seductive and sophisticated.
