Chapters - Reserve Wines
Our Bethany Reserve wines celebrate the people, vineyards and winemaking that have shaped these exceptional wines.
The LE Shiraz pays tribute to Lawrence and Edna Schrapel, fourth-generation vignerons who tended the family vineyards for more than 60 years. Sourced predominantly from a single vineyard in the Flaxman Valley, the wine expresses the purity, power and elegance of Shiraz from the eastern edge of the Barossa Ranges.
The GR Shiraz takes its name from Geoff and Robert Schrapel, fifth-generation vignerons whose work in these vineyards helped shape the wine. Crafted from some of the oldest, lowest-yielding Shiraz vines in vineyards long associated with the Schrapel family, it is rich, complex and refined, reflecting the depth and character of these exceptional sites.
Together, the LE and GR Shiraz represent the pinnacle of the Bethany Reserve range — wines of provenance, finesse and enduring character.
Blue Quarry Wines
From 1846 to the early 1930s, the quarry at Bethany was a working source of bluestone, used by early pioneers to build homes and buildings across the region. Many of those structures still stand today, giving the stone a lasting place in Barossa history.
Today, our winery and cellar door sit within the old quarry, surrounded by the distinctive bluestone that has been part of this landscape for generations.
Our Blue Quarry wines are crafted from single-vineyard fruit, selected for its quality, character and connection to this exceptional part of the Barossa. They are wines shaped by place - expressive, distinctive and made to showcase the vineyards they come from.
First Village Wines
Fresh, approachable and unmistakably Barossa, First Village is our introduction to Bethany Wines. Named after Bethany - the first European village established in the Barossa in 1842 - the range celebrates our place and heritage with a fresh, contemporary spirit.
The distinctive label artwork is inspired by Scherenschnitte, the traditional German art of intricate paper cutting. The delicate design tells the story of Bethany’s early village and pays tribute to the Silesian settlers who made this corner of the Barossa home.
Good wines with a great story. Easy to enjoy, made for sharing and perfect for everyday occasions.
Stickies and Fortified Wines
Rich, luscious and made for lingering over, our Fortified and Sticky wines offer a deliciously different side of Bethany.
Discover the golden, honeyed sweetness of Late Harvest Riesling, the intense, fruit-laden richness of our Old Quarry Fronti, and the deep, complex character of our Old Quarry Tawny. Perfect with dessert, cheese, good conversation...or simply on their own!
