Ross Estate

Ross Estate

The story of Ross Estate dates back to the end of the 19th century when it was a general farm with vineyards and a cemetery. In that cemetery lies William Jacob who, with his brother John, in 1885 established the Barossa Valley’s first vineyard and winery. 


Current owners, Darius and Pauline Ross, fell in love with the 110 acre property in the early 90’s and invested in their life long passion for wine. Together, after years of hard work, they have created a splendid estate. Darius designed the Polish inspired winery and cellar door, surrounded by lawns and rose gardens. 


With extensive knowledge from former winemaker Rod Chapman, current senior winemaker Neville Falkenberg, of Penfold’s fame, and budding young winemaker Alex Peel, Ross Estate Wines has set the benchmark for boutique winemaking and continually producing award-winning wines of outstanding and consistent quality.

Ross Estate Cabernet Sauvignon Cabernet Franc Merlot 2006 (Bordeaux)

The wine is a dark crimson red in colour, with brick red hues. The complex, intriguing nose displays briar fruits, raspberries and blackberries with an aromatic violet lift from the Cabernet Franc. Satsuma plums and berries meld with licorice, mocha and aromatic spices on the palate. This is the ultimate food friendly wine, with the tannin structure giving the finish an apparent sweet, juicy quality, that complements all ranges of cuisines.

layers of structure to the dense forest berry fruit and providing great
length and supported by integrated sweet spiced oak. A great choice.

These gnarled vines are dry grown and low yielding, but produce high quality grapes with concentrated flavours. The wine is an attractive deep crimson colour with ripe spicy cherry fruit aromas typical of the variety. Its palate structure is rich and warm with soft tannins. An authentic and traditional Barossa Valley style of wine.

Ross Estate Riesling 2010

Grapefruit, lime and nectarines on the nose complimented by a dry, well balanced palate with a crisp citrus finish.

Ross Estate Shiraz 2007

This gold medal-winning Shiraz is a hedonistic delight. With layer upon layer of flavour, it is beautifully balanced and for a wine of such concentration, so refined. There is a wonderful red fruit dimension over the plummy, mulberry core with violet highlights and lovely base notes ranging from wood-smoke through cocoa to exotic spices. Absolutely charming now, but it will get even better with time in the bottle.

This delicious Sparkling Pinot Chardonnay has a delicate nose with strawberries and cream from the Pinot Noir fruit and fresh lemon zest from the Chardonnay.

The palate is fruit driven and fresh, with added layers of cream and softness. The wine is well balanced and fresh, with lingering flavours and great mouth feel.
