A Tale of Two Regions
The story of Neldner Road begins in the heart of the Barossa, particularly in the sun-drenched Marananga of the Western Barossa Valley. However, the founder also developed a deep admiration for the cool and elevated hills of Flaxman's Valley in Eden Valley. Recognizing the unique greatness of both regions, Neldner Road wines strive to capture the essence of each. This commitment to showcasing the diverse terroirs has led to the production of exceptional wines sourced from both the Barossa Valley and Eden Valley.
A Journey Rooted in Legacy
Within the Neldner Road portfolio, the single-vineyard series stands as a testament to the winemaker's passion and gratitude. Carefully selected from six vineyards, these wines embody the rich history and longevity of the Barossa. Some of these vineyards, lovingly revived over two decades ago, now boast vines that have gracefully aged beyond a century. Each single-vineyard wine pays homage to the original settler families who had the foresight to plant these remarkable vineyards, ensuring their legacy lives on in every sip.
Preserving Tradition in the Regional Series
The regional series by Neldner Road pays tribute to the timeless winemaking styles that have defined the Barossa for generations. This collection features five wines, each crafted with meticulous care and respect for tradition. From the captivating Grenache Shiraz Mataro blend to the harmonious Barossa and Eden Valley Shiraz, these wines showcase the enduring character and flavours that have stood the test of time. Notably, the Barossa Valley Marsanne stands as a crown jewel, representing the pinnacle of white wine craftsmanship.
Cultivating Terroir with a Minimalistic Touch
At Neldner Road, the winemaker believes in the importance of hands-on viticulture, nurturing the vineyards personally whenever possible. From pruning the vines in winter to tending to them through spring and summer, every step is carefully executed. The approach is rooted in minimalism, ensuring an honest expression of each vineyard's unique character from grape to bottle. Embracing organic and sustainable practices as part of a holistic approach, Neldner Road embodies a commitment to responsible winemaking.
Artistry in Vinification
The vinification process at Neldner Road is a true testament to craftsmanship. Employing highly oxidative techniques, including open concrete fermenters, pumping over, and basket pressing, the winemaker infuses the wines with depth and complexity. After fermentation, the wines are held in a reductive state to preserve their distinctive characteristics. Aging exclusively in French oak, including large oak foudré, barriques, and puncheons, the wines undergo no fining or filtration prior to bottling, ensuring the purest expression of their terroir.
