The Wark Family is named after the Wark family — long-time Barossa growers whose estate vineyard provides the fruit for this wine — and the label itself is a work of art, painted by Marnie Wark, daughter of the vineyard owners, making this a wine of genuine personal significance and family heritage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eMy Wine Man\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is for someone who wants a serious, single-vineyard Barossa Shiraz from one of the valley’s most celebrated boutique producers at an exceptional price.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 2019 Wark Family is the younger, more approachable expression of this celebrated single-vineyard wine — still carrying the full weight of Kym Teusner’s winemaking expertise and the Wark family’s extraordinary Barossa vineyard, but with the vibrant fruit energy and freshness of a younger vintage that makes it immediately compelling and accessible.
