Since its founding in 2001, Murray Street has grown to become one of the Barossa Valley's largest family-owned estates. Murray Street has earned a reputation for producing outstanding artisan wines and is recognized by Trip Advisor as a favourite Barossa Valley destination. With Ben Perkins serving as
Head Winemaker, Murray Street is writing a new chapter in artisan winemaking, bringing bright, fruit-forward, food-friendly, ready to enjoy wines to market with the Spring 2022 and Fall 2023 release of our newly hand-crafted Artisan and Estate wine ranges. About Our Wines
Murray Street red wines are bottled without fining and filtered to offer a richer palate experience and superior cellaring potential. We strive to produce wines that show a transparency of site and sense of place. Our wines are free of any animal products which makes them vegan friendly. These are true Domaine grown and crafted artisan wines. All Murray Street wines are crafted to be enjoyed upon release. Our red wines will benefit from decanting when consumed at an early age. Ben Perkins, Head Winemaker, has a steadfast commitment to create wines that over-deliver on quality, and demonstrate desired characteristics:
Fresh, bright, clean in the glass. Rich on the palate, exhibiting true varietal flavours. Food friendly. Soft tannins. Complementary oak flavour. Extended cellaring potential. Consistent profile across vintages. Moderate alcohol. Balanced acidity. This is what handcrafting wines at Murray Street is all about. About Our Vineyards
Our vineyards are located in the Western Ridge of the Barossa Valley – a narrow strip of rolling hills separating the western Barossa Valley from the plains and Gulf St Vincent. This area is home to some of the oldest continuously producing commercial vineyards in the world, with grape varietals sought after by the region’s winemakers. Our Greenock and Gomersal vineyards are subdivided into fifty individually managed blocks, including remarkable old vine Shiraz and Grenache, and more recent but notable plantings of Mataro, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot and Malbec. Our winemakers work hand in hand with the viticulture team throughout the entire year, especially during the growing season when soil health is maintained, disease pressures are minimized, under-vine mulching implemented, and canopy-to-fruit ratios are optimized for the best results at the winery. During vintage, our head winemaker will visit the blocks across our vineyards daily, to ensure the quality of the fruit through a rigorous selection process. Murray Street Artisan, Estate and Icon wines are 100% Estate Grown.
