Dave Powell is a Barossa legend. He cut his teeth at Rockford before founding Torbreck in 1994, the label that came to define an entire era of Barossa Shiraz. Neldner Road is his return, by his own account, to the instincts that shaped his earliest and best work.

Named for the road where his Marananga winery sits, Neldner Road draws fruit from two places Powell knows better than almost anyone: the warm Western Barossa and the cooler, high altitude Flaxman’s Valley in the Eden Valley. Many of these vineyards are ones he personally brought back from neglect over twenty years ago, now farmed with a minimalist hand and finished the old fashioned way, open concrete ferments, basket pressing, French oak maturation.

One of Barossa’s most respected winemakers, back doing what he does best.
