19TH- AND EARLIER 20TH-CENTURY VINEYARD PLANTINGS STILL IN PRODUCTION Note: Vineyard plantings prior to 1850 are described as “circa”. Although anecdotal evidence argues these given dates are reasonably accurate, this type of referencing is probably more appropriate given the informed guesswork behind many other 19th-century vineyards. Plantings marked “circa” from 1850 onwards are generally agreed as the best reference by vineyard owners. These “circa” vineyards are very old and likely to have been planted within 10 years of their indicative dates. There are many vineyard blocks that were planted without records and many dates are estimates based on family stories handed down. c1843 – Langmeil Freedom Vines (Shiraz), Barossa Valley, South Australia (believed) c1847 – Schild Estate Moorooroo Vineyard (Shiraz), Jacob’s Creek, Barossa Valley, South Australia (believed) c1847 – Turkey Flat (Shiraz), Barossa Valley, South Australia (believed) c1848 – Cirillo Old Vine 1850 Light Pass Grenache Barossa Valley, South Australia (believed) c1848 – Cirillo Old Vine 1850 Light Pass Semillon (Madeira), Shiraz & Mataro, Barossa Valley, South Australia (believed) c1848 – Ahren’s Creek Ancestor Vines (Grenache – Maverick), Barossa Valley, South Australia (believed) 1850 – Hillside Vineyard, 1850 plantings (Shiraz – Torbreck), Barossa Valley, South Australia 1853 – Springton Vineyard (Grenache – Head Wines), Barossa Valley, South Australia 1853 – Hewitson Old Garden (Mourvedre/ Mataro), Barossa Valley, South Australia c1850s – Hewitson Old Fence Line Block (Frontignan/ Muscat à Petits Grains), Barossa Valley, South Australia 1854 – Clifton Estate Home Block (Shiraz – Yalumba), Barossa Valley, South Australia (believed) 1858 – Hillside Vineyard, 1858 plantings (Shiraz – Torbreck), Barossa Valley, South Australia
