The Gumpara Vineyard situated in the Light Pass district of the Barossa Valley, has been hand tended by the Mader family for 7 generations.
High quality and consistent yields point towards 2021 being another classic vintage for the Barossa Valley. January and February rainfall events led to fresh canopies, while mild weather conditions throughout summer meant that fruit ripening was gradual, providing time for flavours to fully develop.
