The winery built into a quarry where Silesian settlers once cut stone for their homes has changed hands. The Schrapel family planted Barossa's first vineyard in 1852; fifth-generation brothers Robert and Geoff turned grape-growing into winemaking in 1981, preserving old Shiraz and Grenache vines the government wanted pulled out. New South Australian owners took over in 2025.
