GETTING INTO THE RED IN THE BAROSSA!

They say that you can tell a true Barossan at this time of the year by the colour of his legs.  If they're red, he's being doing what the Barossa does best - making red wine!

If you've been following our posts below, you'll know that the 2014 vintage will be excellent, despite brutal summer weather.

For the winemakers, the weather now is a thing of the past, as they work to turn their precious berries into wine - and for some, that means getting down and getting dirty!

This year, we've been following Langmeil Wines, the custodians of the world's oldest block of Shiraz vines (learn more on our Talking Tour!) - and in early April, that meant getting the maximum juice and flavour from the berries from their Freedom Block.  To do that, they shovel the berries into basket presses from their open fermenters to ensure they extract each precious drop.  We shot a video on the process, which we'll be loading here soon - but in the meantime, check out the 'red legs' in our images here!
