In 1998 three brothers purchased a 104Ha property in the Barossa Ranges (Eden Valley GI) for the purpose of establishing a vineyard. The property is on the corner of Abbaston Road and Springton Road, Mt Crawford.
The area has an average annual rainfall of 700mm and the second coldest average winter temperature in South Australia. The average elevation is 450m above sea level and most of the vineyard has a northerly aspect. The soils are rich in minerals and organics, which enables us to grow some of the best quality wine grapes in Australia.
Our name Blue Rock Wines comes from Bluerock corner which borders our vineyard and was the site of a large bluestone mine which supplied stone for many of Adelaide’s older buildings
