The vineyard was planted with Reynella Selection Cabernet Sauvignon – original cuttings on non-resistant rootstock, sourced from Bordeaux in the early 1800s before phylloxera decimated France.

Established in 1988, Dorrien Estate is nestled in the heart of the Barossa on the site of the historical Dorrien township. Once the railway center of the Barossa, Dorrien was where the Barossa's highly prized wines started their journey by train to other parts of Australia and beyond. This connection to far-reaching places has always been at the core of what we do, which is to source the wonderful grapes from passionate growers in the fine regions across Australia and craft them into premium small-batch wines that are enjoyed all over the world.
