About Chateau Yaldara

1847 Wines The origins of 1847 Wines begin with Bavarian immigrant Johann Gramp, who in 1847 planted his first commercial vineyard in the Barossa Valley. Gramp chose the Rowland Flat sub-region of the Barossa Valley to plant his first patch of just under two hectares of vines. The vines flourished and led to the production of his first vintage in 1850. To this day, Gramp’s original Rowland Flat property remains at the heart of 1847 Wines’ estate vineyards. 1847 Wines has grown to encompass 80 hectares (200 acres) of estate vineyards in the diverse Rowland Flat sub-region, that are the source of the majority of the vintner’s premium wine portfolio inspired by Johann Gramp’s pioneering spirit. Yaldara Wines The philosophy behind the Yaldara Wine Collection stems from its founder Hermann Thumm who first started crafting Barossa Wines in 1947 and was one of the regions first boutique winemakers. Thumm pushed the boundaries of Australia winemaking through his appetite for experimentation of wine techniques, styles and blends. Today, we embrace this approach through the crafting of balanced, structural wines that showcase the harmony of varietal integrity from the select premium South Australian wine regions of the Barossa, Adelaide Hills, Eden Valley and McLaren Vale. Château Yaldara Our home is the iconic Château Yaldara, near the southern Barossa town of Lyndoch. Hermann Thumm founded Château Yaldara in 1947 after he migrated to Australia from Europe. The chateau was named ‘Yaldara’ after the local aboriginal word meaning ‘sparkling’. The site chosen for the winery was on the banks of the North Para River at a flax mill dating back to 1867. Today, we keep his vision alive with estate grown, hand-crafted wines, locally-produced artisan foods and a truly Barossan visitor experience. Château Yaldara’s beautiful riverside restaurant, offers relaxed all-day dining, with a selection of dishes for any appetite.
