SUSTAINABLY CRAFTED WINES that are made for drinking
Our wines are authentic. We grow the grapes, manage the vineyards, make the wines. Our multi-generation vineyards have an enviable track record of producing some of the region’s finest wines.
Our Estate Vineyards and a number of our Grower Vineyards are Certified Organic and Certified Sustainable. Our wines vegan friendly. We embrace innovation but within the context of what our wonderful region’s grape growers and winemakers have done so well for more 150 years.
Our wines have a richness and depth of flavour. They drink well on release but have the capacity to develop and improve for many years in the cellar. We have an uncompromising focus on producing the best wines possible from some of the Barossa’s best Vineyard Sites in any given vintage year.
A Day in the Life at Hayes Family Wines
EXPLORE OUR WINES
-
Our regional wines are blends of our single vineyard barrels to create a Barossa Classic style. The regional wines share wonderful fruit and represent all that is good about the Barossa Valley: Great Fruit, well balanced and great drinking from day 1. They will also will benefit from cellar time should you desire.
-
Our Single Vineyard wines are made from our best grower blocks in the best of years. The barrel selection of one two barrels that best represent a particular vineyard site in any given vintage year. All of our growers have been growing grapes on these vineyards sites for 100 years or more, some more than 150. These wines give a view into the grower, their family history and their particular site. Our goal is to bring the vineyard characteristics to the bottle with little intervention. These are vineyard wines.
-
Our Estate wines are grown on our Stone Well Vineyard in the Western Barossa Valley. This vineyard was planted in 1948. The vineyard is Certified Organic and Certified Sustainable. The soils on this block are very diverse, but consistently tough for grape growing. The vines naturally crop low. The resulting wines tend to be rich and fruity, but with a backbone of tannin that we do typically see in the Barossa Valley. They are food friendly wines that are cellaring specials should you desire.
-
Our Reserve is our best of vintage wine, the wine that Andrew and I consider to be the pinnacle of what we can make in any particular vintage. The reserve is not made every year, but when it is, you can be assured that it will be represent the best of what we do. We also produce various one offs, or wines that are different in style or make up, these wines are released when the vintage suits for the discerning wine drinker.
-
The family Selection was developed to represent the best of what we can do from our best blocks in the great vintage years. These wines will not be made every year but what is released will be at the pinnacle of what we do at Hayes Family Wines. Single blocks, Single Vintages, the best of what we do
CERTIFIED ORGANIC. CERTIFIED SUSTAINABLE. VEGAN Friendly.
We believe that it matters to our ancient Barossa Valley soils, our very old vines, our team that live and work with us and our customers that buy and enjoy our wines. Yes it does require more effort, and yes it does take more time, but we believe that the wines benefit from our inputs, our commitment. We are sure that you will benefit from these efforts too.
