Bethany Wines’ family vineyard located on the eastern ridge of the Barossa Foothills continues to be an active participant in a project exploring the effect of ‘terroir’ on wine.

The East Grounds Shiraz is sourced from a single beautiful elevated (280-300m) vineyard on the Schrapel property, this wine speaks clearly of its place. Lifted aromatics, blue/black fruit profile and fine grained, persistent velvet tannins that create a wine of great presence and character.

Bethany Wines, one of South Australia’s most historically significant wineries, has been sold to a syndicate of proud South Australians committed to preserving and enhancing its rich legacy.

Bethany Wines now enters a new chapter—rooted in heritage, guided by local passion, and driven by a bold commitment to restoring its status as one of the world’s great wine destinations.

We recommend you take the opportunity to visit the many venues hosting exhibitions and workshops as part of the Barossa Arts Festival, the program of events looks like there is something for everyone.

30 March - 30 April 2024

Discover and celebrate the unique heritage of the Barossa and surrounding regions.

Enjoy experiences across nine heritage locations.

The result is some truly stunning wines in 2022. We have Shiraz of exceptional aromatic purity and brightness with fine and significant tannins giving structure and freshness. Cabernet is a true standout this year, it always benefits from a more gentle growing season and that is certainly what it got in 2022. The whites are balanced and bright across the board and Grenache and its friends all benefited from time on the vine (as opposed to high warmth) to develop full, bright and rich flavours. 

It was a long vintage (first crush 28 January, last press 29 April), so there were a few tired heads around in May, but the results will most definitely be worth it! Enjoy, Alex MacClelland
