Church Road Zinfandel 2024 is a lighter-bodied Barossa red crafted from Zinfandel grown at our Rowland Flat vineyard. Following fermentation, the wine spent a short period in both American (Minnesota) and French oak, adding subtle complexity and spice. The result is a delicious, fruit-forward red wine with rich fruit and spicy flavours that linger on the palate. Versatile and approachable, it pairs beautifully with roast meats, pasta, pizza and cheddar cheese, while also being enjoyable on its own.

Wine Orbit October 2025 - Sam Kim
“Shows dark plum, thyme, cured meat, and floral aromas on the nose. The palate is juicy and beautifully rounded elegant tannins, making it immediately appealing. At its best: now to 2028.”
Taste Description
Colour
Deep crimson with vibrant ruby hues.
Nose
Expressive aromas of ripe blackberry, plum and dark cherry, layered with subtle spice and hints of pepper.
Palate
Rich and fruit-driven, with flavours of dark berries and plum supported by gentle spice and soft tannins. Well balanced and smooth through the finish, offering generosity without heaviness.
Vintage Conditions
The 2024 Barossa growing season was characterised by generally dry conditions and moderate temperatures, allowing for a long, steady ripening period. Reduced disease pressure supported healthy fruit development, while mild summer conditions preserved balance and flavour clarity.
A dry, temperate autumn provided ideal harvest conditions, producing fruit with ripeness, structure, and freshness - well-suited to an expressive yet balanced Zinfandel style.
