  • The Welland story began with the arrival of the Krieg family, from Germany in 1847. The Kriegs became one of the Barossa’s founding families and in 1923 planted what is now the Welland vineyard at the northern end of the Barossa.

    Being aware of the outstanding fruit this vineyard grew Ben and Madeleine Chapman purchased and resurrected this neglected old vineyard in the township of Nuriootpa. Fruit from the Welland is supplemented by Shiraz and Cabernet Sauvignon from grower vineyards around the Barossa and Eden Valleys.

    “Our winemaking philosophy is simple — make wines we like to drink, and work with varieties that are suited to the Barossa. Rich, Generous, Balanced and Longevity are words that characterise the Welland style — flavoursome wines that are enjoyable and approachable in their youth, retain balance, and will reward cellaring”
