Producer's description
The first vines winery Byrne were planted in 1930. Because the vineyards of South Australia did not know what the phylloxera, it is only some of the old vines, which is now used for commercial purposes.
In 1963, Eric and Romla Byrne acquired the ownership of a vineyard near the Overland Corner, South Australia. On limestone soils were planted with vines of Shiraz, Cabernet Sauvignon and Chardonnay. In addition to these varieties in the vineyard grow unique old vines, from which the harvest is used for wine production "Antiquarian Rare White Blend". For several decades, Byrne has expanded its area of vineyards, buying land in South Australia. To date, the total area of farms over 100 hectares.
